Profile
I study primarily the literature and languages of the early medieval North Sea, but I specialize in Old English and Old Norse. I am particularly interested in the interaction of medieval language theories and gender, especially in how this manifests in literature. As such, I study the myriad ways direct speech is gendered and stereotyped in early English literature.
