Nordentoft
Politikvinden Nanna Nordentoft er både drabsefterforsker ved Nordsjællands Politi, og celeber arving til Nordentoft Shipping Lines rederiimperiet. I al hemmelighed, og nogle gange illegalt, leder hun en organisation, der har til formål at beskytte familiens rederivirksomhed. Da Nanna skal efterforske en sag, hvor liget af en ung kvindelig studerende er blevet fundet pakket ind i affaldssække, i et skovområde, bliver det indledningen på en hel serie af mystiske drab og dødsfald, der alle har forbindelse til liget af den unge kvinde. Gentagende gange, mødes Nanna af modstand i sin efterforskning af magtfulde kræfter, der på forhånd har lagt forhindringer i vejen, for den unge politikvindes efterforskning. Nanna Nordentoft viser sig i mellemtiden, at være en overordentlig skarpsindig og handlekraftig kvinde, der overvinder selv de største forhindringer i efterforskningen. Snart leder alle spor i retning af en hemmelig kreds bestående af magtfulde erhvervsfolk, med direkte forbindelse til landets regering, der alle syntes at være under kontrol af den mystiske legende kaldet Stormesteren.
Jews in East Norse Literature
What did Danes and Swedes in the Middle Ages imagine and write about Jews and Judaism? This book draws on over 100 medieval Danish and Swedish manuscripts and incunabula as well as runic inscriptions and religious art (c. 1200–1515) to answer this question. There were no resident Jews in Scandinavia before the modern period, yet as this book shows ideas and fantasies about them appear to have been widespread and an integral part of life and culture in the medieval North. Volume 1 investigates the possibility of encounters between Scandinavians and Jews, the terminology used to write about Jews, Judaism, and Hebrew, and how Christian writers imagined the Jewish body. The (mis)use of Jews in...
Openness in Medieval Europe
This volume challenges the persistent association of the Middle Ages with closure and fixity. Bringing together a range of disciplines and perspectives, it identifies and uncovers forms of openness which are often obscured by modern assumptions, and demonstrates how they coexist with, or even depend upon, enclosure and containment in paradoxical and unexpected ways. Explored through notions such as porosity, vulnerability, exposure, unfinishedness, and inclusivity, openness turns out to permeate medieval culture, unsettling boundaries, binaries, and clear-cut distinctions.

Medieval Spirituality in Scandinavia and Europe
Tore Nyberg, senior lecturer at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense, celebrated his seventieth birthday on January 4, 2001. For that occasion a group of his colleagues and former pupils have wished to pay homage to Tore Nyberg with a festschrift. His is a household name in Birgittine studies, but he has made valuable contributions within a number of other fields: the introduction and growth of Christianity in Scandinavia; the integration of Scandinavia and the Baltic Region in the cultural sphere of the Latin West, always with an eye to relations with and influences from the East; urban history; and monasticism in general. Within all these fields he has mastered both the detailed study and the comprehensive synthesis.
