		<title>Old Norse position in Bergen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A rare opportunity to apply for a job teaching Old Norse philology at one of the truly great centres of the discipline, the University of Bergen, has been advertised on jobbnorge.no.

		<title>The Eddas of 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Continuing our round-up of this year&#8217;s new books: these will probably be old, old news to many of you, but surely two of the most significant publications of 2011 are both long-awaited new Poetic Eddas.
1. The Orchard Edda
First, there is the new Penguin Classics translation by Professor Lord Andy Orchard, who now is mainly famous [...]]]></description>

		<title>A thriving publishing season, Norns and Goddesses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I started to gather together information about recent publications in medieval Scandinavia, from material people have kindly sent me and from trawling through Amazon&#8217;s catalogue, it became clear that 2011 has seen a really impressive number of relevant and interesting books published. I&#8217;m going to try to run through as many of these as [...]]]></description>

		<title>The return of Old Norse News</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where does the time go? I certainly hadn&#8217;t been planning on taking most of the year off from Old Norse News, but it seems to have happened that way. Thanks to everybody who has continued to send me stuff for the site, and sincere apologies if I&#8217;ve missed out some time sensitive material. I naturally [...]]]></description>

		<title>Myths of the Pagan North</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ll excuse the shameless self-promotion&#8230; I&#8217;m very pleased to announce that my new book, Myths of the Pagan North: the gods of the Norsemen (and, in response to queries: yes, the publishers had a hand in the title) will be out later this week.
It&#8217;s been a very interesting project: my brief was to write [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Dictionary of Old Norse Prose</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems as though we&#8217;re unlikely to see any further printed volumes of the Dictionary of Old Norse Prose in the foreseeable future, which is a great shame. But to make us feel a bit better about the situation, the Dictionary has redesigned its website with a host of new features. This is what they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two more books: Odin on the one hand, Sermons on the other</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My attempt to get up to date with the backlog of recently published books continues. Slowly.
This time we have a study of contrasts: in the pagan corner, there&#8217;s Annette Lassen&#8217;s new book about Odin på kristent pergament; from the other end of the Old Norse spectrum, we have a (to me) very exciting collection of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Njáls saga on Horseback</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An intriguing idea for your summer holidays&#8230;
Njáls Saga on horseback 
Are you interested in travelling on horseback through the setting of Iceland&#8217;s most dramatic and popular Saga? In late June Jón Karl Helgason, assistant professor at the University of Iceland and the author of The Rewriting of Njáls Saga (1999), will be co-guiding a four [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Year, New Books: Cambridge Introduction to the Sagas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alas, our Christmas Book Flood wasn&#8217;t more than a trickle, and my list of interesting new books will have to spill over into the new year.
Next to reach the top of the pile is a volume I&#8217;m quite excited about, as there still are relatively few good general textbooks on Old Norse that are readily [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jólabókaflóðið, Part I: Witchcraft and Magic in the Nordic Middle Ages</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I have rather a backlog of recent books to announce. Many thanks to everybody who&#8217;s sent notices of publications to me (and, in a couple of cases, even actual books!), and apologies for the tardiness.
In the run up to Christmas I shall try to tell you about as many of these new books as [...]]]></description>
