About

Thijs Porck is a cultural historian of early medieval England, with a background in medieval history as well as English language and literature. The common strand in my research is gaining an understanding of Anglo-Saxon culture and of how modern generations have interacted with this early medieval heritage, in both scholarship and popular culture. He teaches Old English, Middle English and Tolkien at Leiden University, The Netherlands. This Humanities Commons account will be used to make available Open Access versions of his publications.
