Emily Robinson will explore the links of the lost town of Ravenser Odd to Yorkshire's Viking past, and the continued cultural effect of this association. Yuki Sugiyama will focus on a marginal annotation in the Lincoln Thornton Manuscript to explore how Late Medieval Ryedale was entangled in webs of literature, devout book lovers, nuns, and nobles. |
