The Queens and Royal Women of Sweden, c. 970–1330
This is the first major piece of scholarship to provide an overview of the lives of Sweden’s earliest documented queens, together with some of their most influential female relatives, who lived between 970 and 1330.

It tracks the different religious, political, and socio-economic trends which defined and shaped the office of queen and identifies...
Envisioning the Empress: The Lives and Images of Japanese Imperial Women, 1868–1952

Decolonising Medieval Fennoscandia
The interdisciplinary study investigates the relationship between Norse and Saami peoples in the medieval period and focuses on the multifaceted portrayal of Saami peoples in medieval texts. The investigative analysis is anchored in postcolonial methodologies and argues for the inherent need to decolonise the medieval source-material as well as recent historiography. This is achieved by presenting the historiographic and political background of research into Norse-Saami relations, before introducing an overview of textual sources discussing Saami peoples from the classical period to the late 1400s, an analysis of the textual motifs associated with the Saami in medieval literature (their rele...

Minnet av Caroline
Hur hanterar man insikten att ens tid är begränsad? Och insikten att ens livspartners tid är utmätt? Den medelålders akademikern Henrik förlorar sin 55-åriga hustru Caroline i cancer. Under sorgeåret passerar deras gemensamma liv än en gång. Ur hågkomster, vittnesbörd, efterlämnade papper och fotoalbum framträder Minnet av Caroline, som kärleks- historia, mikrohistoria, sjukdomshistoria, biografi och sorgeprocess. Kan han lösa de obesvarade frågorna? Den efterlängtade Caroline är en guldlockig prinsessa i senmodernismens Malmö och står i familjens centrum. På henne projiceras tidens flickföreställningar om att vara söt, duktig och ordentlig. Natur, djur, böcker, kulturhistoria och bild fångar snart den blyga men begåvade Caroline. Genom arbetet träffar hon Henrik. Passion och syskon- tycke vävs samman i deras äktenskap. Tillsammans renoverar de torp, bildar familj och hjälper varandra med forskning och böcker. När sjukdomen kommer orsakar den kris, men svetsar sedan dem samman. Caroline använder sin begränsade tid förnuftigt: till familj och vänner, arbete, forskning och trädgård. Som en höstblomma ända till frosten tar henne.
