Thank you to all the participants of yesterday’s Clemoes Reading Prize  for making it one of the best such events in recent years. It was a closely fought contest, but congratulations are extended to Charlotte White who won with her reading of select stanzas from Guðrúnarkviða I & II in Old Norse. Well done, Charlotte!

A conference organised by Robert Gallagher, Juliann Pigott and Sarah Waidler, PhD students in the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic, together with their colleague from St Andrews, Jennifer Key, gained much publicity on the University website and is discussed here: http://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/and-the-girl-he-immersed-in-the-font-he-took-out-as-a-boy

Don’t forget to come along and join in the fun next Wednesday at 5pm when the Clemoes Reading Prize 2014 will be taking place. It is set to be a battle! Further details on the prize can be found here.
