‎Loanwords and Native Words in Old and Middle Icelandic. A Study in the History and Dynamics of the Icelandic Medieval Lexicon, from the Twelfth Century to 1550‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 332 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 5 col., 36 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503598154.‎

‎Summary Anyone familiar with the Modern Icelandic language will know that the country's policy is to avoid borrowing lexemes from other languages, and instead to draw on their own vocabulary. This often results in the formation of a word pair, consisting of a loanword and its respective native equivalent, as the process of borrowing systematically eludes the tight tangles of language policy. But how did this phenomenon develop in the Middle Ages, before a purist ideology was formed? This volume offers a unique analysis of a previously unexplored area of Old Norse linguistics by investigating the way in which loanwords and native synonyms interacted in the Middle Ages. Through a linguistic-philological investigation of texts from all medieval Icelandic prose genres, the book maps out the strategies by which the variation and interplay between loanwords and native words were manifested in medieval Iceland and suggests that it is possible to identify the same dynamics in other languages with a comparable literary tradition. In doing so, new light is shed on language development and usage in the Middle Ages, and the gap between case-study and general linguistic theory is bridged over.

‎Woman's Rite. The Ritual of Churching of Women after Childbirth in Denmark, 1500-1965‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: 331, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:20 b/w, 61 col., 4 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503620695.‎

‎Summary The Lutheran rite of 'churching' women after childbirth was long performed across Europe. It marked the liminal end of a woman's cycle of procreation - from pregnancy through to her first months as a new mother. Dating back to ancient Christianity, churching has rarely been studied in depth. Spanning four centuries, this volume offers a compelling case study of how religious practices persist, change, and disappear - and what they reveal about the enduring tensions between gender, ritual, and institutional control. It is a history of women and their everyday lives, but also a history of forgetting, for it centred on the messiness of childbirth - a female world long marginalized in historical narratives. This book examines the rules imposed on procreative women, whether during pregnancy or in the seclusion of confinement, and shows how churching became a feast day for the married mother, marking her return to church and society after weeks of separation. Unmarried mothers, by contrast, faced public shame and church discipline. These disparities expose how Lutheran society enforced moral boundaries, upheld sexual norms, and regulated procreative women's bodies. Drawing on a wealth of source material - most of it previously unexplored - this book reveals churching at the centre of communal life for centuries. Rooted in Denmark but with far wider resonance, A Woman's Rite restores churching to the history of European ritual and gendered religious life.

‎Werewolves in Old Norse-Icelandic Literature. Between the Monster and the Man‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 227 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:13 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503596006.‎

‎Summary At the heart of any story of metamorphosis lies the issue of identity, and the tales of the werwulf (lit. 'man-wolf') are just as much about the wolf as about the man. What are the constituents of the human in general? What symbolic significance do they hold? How do they differ for different types of human? How would it affect the individual if one or more of these elements were to be subtracted? Focusing on a group of Old Norse-Icelandic werewolf narratives, many of which have hitherto been little studied, this insightful book sets out to answer these questions by exploring how these texts understood and conceptualized what it means to be human. At the heart of this investigation are five factors key to the werewolf existence ?skin, clothing, food, landscape, and purpose ? and these are innovatively examined through a cross-disciplinary approach that carefully teases apart the interaction between two polarizations: the external and social, and the interior and psychological. Through this approach, the volume presents a comprehensive new look at the werewolf not only as a supernatural creature and a literary motif, but also as a metaphor that bears on the relationship between human and non-human, between Self and Other, and that is able to situate the Old-Norse texts into a broader intellectual discourse that extends beyond medieval Iceland and Norway.
