We extend a warm invitation into the realm of Anglo-Saxon imagination, be it historical, literary or linguistic, to all scholars and students (BA, MA, PhD) interested in the study of the Anglo-Saxon period and Anglo-Saxon related themes across centuries. This year the conference encourages the participants to plunge into the realm of the supernatural, the unknown, the other, the monstrous. The discussion of such themes can assume different forms and will, hopefully, allow for a wide range of interpretations.

Papers may address but are not limited to the following: 

the supernatural / monstrosity
historical linguistics / language change
the other / social inclusion or exclusion
sociolinguistics / language contact
historical writing / historical imagination
religion / beliefs (Pagan and Christian)
charms / magic

Submission deadline: 30 DECEMBER 2018


Conference language: English

Paper Proposals:
We invite students and scholars from various academic fields to submit their proposals (c.a. 250 words) for twenty-minute papers.
