Modes of Authorship in the Middle Ages
The second week in November looks like being a busy one in the Old Norse world. The Århus myth conference takes place then, as does the Viking Society meeting in London, where Matthew Driscoll is giving a lecture. Then, on the 17-19 November, the Centre for Medieval Studies at the University of Bergen is holding a conference entitled Tradition and the Individual Talent: Modes of Authorship in the Middle Ages. Not all the papers are on Scandinavian topics, but several are, and the speakers include Else Mundal, Jonas Wellendorf, Gísli Sigurðsson, Svanhildur Óskarsdóttir, Bernt Øyvind Thorvaldsen, Åslaug Ommundsen, Emily Lethbridge and Kristel Zilmer. The full programme is available by clicking the following link: Bergen Authorship Conference Programme. The CMS at Bergen is a fantastic place to visit, and I wish I could go (teaching commitments are going to get in the way of this one for me). Old Norse News will try to get a full report.
