Volsungs Cover (Patreon)

At last, a first look at the cover for my translation of The Saga of the Volsungs with the Saga of Ragnar Lothbrok. I am working on the proofs, making final corrections and revisions, and the book is scheduled to be released in September.

The spring semester at Berkeley ended last week, and I spent the last several days at the annual conference of the Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Study and the American Association for Runic Studies, which was in Minneapolis this year. It was good to see many people I had not seen in a long time and hear some good papers. My own paper, on my argument that blár really did mean "blue" in Old Norse (something I've touched on here: https://youtu.be/ZJVp-dtCbfc ) went pretty well, I thought. 

I'll probably get back to posting some videos in the middle of this week.
