Carolyne Larrington

September 5, 1959

Dr. Carolyne Larrington delves into medieval English literature, spanning from its earliest forms to the dawn of the Renaissance. Her scholarly pursuits encompass Old Icelandic literature, medieval women's writing, European Arthurian legends, and, more recently, the study of medieval emotion. Her rendition of the Poetic Edda stands as a definitive translation. Larrington's work intricately explores how medieval texts capture human emotions and relationships within Arthurian and folkloric traditions.
