Dr George Manning
I specialise in medieval literatures, in particular Old Norse-Icelandic literature. I hold a BA in English Literature from Durham University, an MSt in Medieval English from Mansfield College, Oxford, and a DPhil (PhD) in Old Norse literature from St Anne’s College, Oxford. In 2021-22, I was Departmental Lecturer in Old Norse at Oxford’s English Faculty and St Anne’s College and Lecturer in English at St Hilda’s College. I teach Old Norse, Old English, Middle English, and the history of the English language. My doctoral thesis examined the presentation of anger in the Old Norse-Icelandic Íslendingasögur (Sagas of Icelanders). My research interests include Old Norse-Icelandic literature and culture; the Íslendingasögur; emotion theory; sexuality and gender studies; and Old Norse mythic tradition.
