Norse-Derived Terms in the "Ormulum"
  • A Reappraisal
  • Sara M. Pons-Sanz
  • Published by:

    23 October 2026
  • The Ormulum has been, from the onset, at the very centre of the philological investigation of the impact that Anglo-Scandinavian interaction in the Early Middle Ages had on the English lexicon. However, previous works have focused mainly on the identification of the Norse-derived terms in the text, with different interpretations arising from the varying reliability of the extant evidence. This study moves the field forward not only by re-assessing the over five hundred terms that have so far been identified as Norse-derived on the basis of the newly developed Gersum typology, but also by exploring the level of integration of the terms into Orrm’s language and the extent to which his use of these terms can be said to be as idiosyncratic as other aspects of his text.

How Medieval Songs Come Down
  • Essays in Memory of Carter Revard
  • Edited by Susanna Fein, Thomas Goodmann
  • Published by:
    Arc Humanities Press
    Published online:
    30 June 2026
  • This volume by Arc Humanities Press, doubling as a special issue of the journal Early Middle English, honours the long and prolific career of scholar and poet Carter Revard (1931–2022). The volume includes contributions by Keith Busby, Susanna Fein, Thomas Goodmann, Richard Firth Green, Steven Justice, Kathryn Kerby-Fulton, Nancy P. Pope, and Suzanne M. Yeager, along with Revard's unpublished edition and translation of a thirteenth-century Anglo-French parlour game (edited by Susanna Fein and David Raybin). In recognition of Revard's deep interest in early Middle English and Anglo-French literature, these essays offer new research that reflects his “sleuthing” for the scribe of Harley 2253 as well as topics in medieval social history and literary codicology. Taken together, the essays deepen our understanding of the intricate social and political contexts of literary transmission, and of manuscript production and reception.
