The organisers extend a warm invitation into the realm of Anglo-Saxon imagination, be it historical, literary or linguistic, to all scholars and students (BA, MA, PhD) interested in the study of the Anglo-Saxon period and Anglo-Saxon related themes across centuries.

This year the conference encourages the participants to plunge into the realm of the supernatural, the unknown, the other, the monstrous. The discussion of such themes can assume different forms and will, hopefully, allow for a wide range of interpretations.

Papers will address, but are not limited, to the following:

• the supernatural / monstrosity
• historical linguistics / language change
• the other / social inclusion or exclusion
• sociolinguistics / language contact
• historical writing / historical imagination
• religion / beliefs (Pagan and Christian)
• charms / magic

The conference language is English.
