ABOUT ME

 

VIKINGS · WOMEN · MYTHS & LEGENDS

I am a literary scholar and historian specialising in the Viking Age and medieval period in Scandinavia and Iceland. I'm also interested in the reception of these in modern works, whether television and film, visual art, music or literature.

I live in Oslo, Norway, with my husband.
