I am soon going to publish a book in Danish with the title:
Vikingernes syn på militær og samfund
Belyst gennem skjaldenes fyrstedigtning.
Aarhus University Press.

The book starts with a new article on how the idea of Old-Norse democracy has shaped modern Danish political ideas. Then follow four older articles on the ideology of the court-skalds (who were very autocratic indeed). I am a historian and “know but little Old Norse” but have been relatively well received by filologists.

Would it be a kind of book you would consider to review? In that case I could ask the publisher to send you a copy.

Yours sincerely

As far as I know the subscriptions will still be handled in the same way — it’s the same administrative team involved, despite the move to a new home, and the bibliographies will definitely continue to be published. I know that my colleagues are working on this year’s as I write.

Will the annual reports of journal articles relevant to Scandinavia published in other journals continie? No doubt compiling them has been very demanding of time and resources, but they provide a very useful bibliographical tool.

Will those of us who have been subscribers to Scandinavica be directly invited to re-subscribe, or will details appear here in due course?
