medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Please take note and forward:
The editors of the Heroic Age: A Journal of Early
Medieval Northwestern Europe
(http://www.heroicage.org) are pleased to announce the
publication of Issue 8:Traders, Saints, and Pirates:
The Sea in Early Medieval Northwestern Europe. The
main articles are:
Twelfth-Century Norman and Irish Literary Evidence for
Ship-Building and Sea-Faring Techniques of Norse
Origin by William Sayers.
"Bad to the Bone"? The Unnatural History of Monstrous
Medieval Whales by Vicki Ellen Szabo.
Time, Space and Political Communities: Transportation
and Travel Routes in Early Medieval England by Lemont
Dobson.
Pictish Art and the Sea by Craig Cessford.
In addition we offer our regular columns and other
features. Issue Editor Elizabeth Ragan has done a
very good job pulling these articles together and
bringing the Issue 8 to fruition and we would like to
thank her for her efforts.
In other and related news, our website has moved!
Many of you will have seen Bill Schipper's
announcement last week regarding our new url:
www.heroicage.org. Related to the new url is the fact
that we have moved completely to the web site at
Memorial University of Newfoundland. We would like to
thank MUN and particularly Bill Schipper for housing
the journal. Thanks also go to Dan O'Donnell and Bill
Schipper for providing and setting up the new site and
address.
Readers will also note a change in the web site
design. Board member Deanna Forsman undertook a
redesign of our site. We have now entered the 21st
century in web design which has far outstripped our
original look. Admittedly current web design has far
outstripped our new design too, but it is good to have
a facelift. Our thanks go to Dr. Forsman for all her
hard work on the site and creativity. We also invite
comments on the site.
One final note: with Issue 8 we have introduced
paragraph numbering for articles etc. in our issues.
We have introduced this change in an effort to address
difficulties with citing online articles. As is
obvious, one cannot cite a page number if there are no
pages! But paragraph numbers not only resolve that
issue, they also give an even
greater abillity to specify what is being cited or
quoted. We hope this development is of service to our
readers.
Thank you for your time, and we hope that you will
visit the Heroic Age soon.
