We extend a cordial invitation to all scholars and students (BA, MA, PhD) interested in the study of the Anglo-Saxon period.

The conference seeks to explore different aspects of the Anglo-Saxon world and its reception in later centuries. This edition of the conference will try to map the presence of Anglo-Saxon themes across time from the Middle Ages until the present day.

• Literary and other representations of the Anglo-Saxon past
