I'm an academic and writer focusing on the literature and history of medieval England and Scandinavia. I teach Old and Middle English literature at Brasenose College, Oxford, and write a regular column for History Today. My books include 'Dragon Lords: The History and Legends of Viking England' (IB Tauris, 2018), 'Conquered: The Last Children of Anglo-Saxon England' (Bloomsbury, 2022), and 'Winters in the World: A Journey Through the Anglo-Saxon Year' (Reaktion Books, 2022). My most recent book, 'Hoarded Gold: A Book of Old English Wisdom' (Uppsala Books, 2026), is a collection of Old English poems, proverbs and prose writings on the theme of wisdom, offering a new examination of one of the most important strands of thought in early medieval English literature.
