Gender, Violence, and the Past in Edda and Saga - Clark, David (Lecturer in Old English, University of Leicester)

Through thematic concentration on gender/sexuality and violence, and generic concentration on Poetic Edda and later texts which rework or allude to it, David Clark provides a diverse but coherent exploration of both key and neglected Norse texts and the way in which their authors display a dual fascination with and rejection of heroic vengeance.
