A collection of essays I co-edited with Dustin Geeraert. The collection features 8 essays along with an editor’s Introduction, a Foreword by Tom Shippey, and an Afterword by M. J. Toswell. In addition to co-editing the collection, I also authored one of the essays in the collection, which is titled “Once More, with Fiction: Transforming Myth in Gerður Kristný’s Blóðhófnir and The Eddic Poem Skírnismál.” The collection is available for purchase here and is also available online here, pending institutional access.
