Books by David (Lecturer in Old English Clark

Through thematic concentration on gender/sexuality and violence, and generic concentration on Poetic Edda and later texts which rework or allude to it, David Clark provides a diverse but coherent exploration of both key and neglected Norse texts and the way in which their authors display a dual fascination with and rejection of heroic vengeance.

Between Medieval Men is a radical new study of same-sex relations (both erotic and non-erotic) in the Anglo-Saxon period. David Clark's nuanced approach to gender and sexuality seeks to step outside modern cultural assumptions in order to explore the diversity and complexity that he shows to be characteristic of the period.
