UNM English
Department Colloquium presents
Jonathan
Davis-Secord
Assistant
Professor
UNM Department of English Language &
Literature
Medieval
Studies Program
Davis-Secord will present a portion
of his nearly-complete monograph – Joinings: Compound Words in Old English
Literature, which explores compound words––nearly ubiquitous but
often neglected elements of early English literature––as the most potent and
culturally resonant linguistic tools available in Old
English.
Davis-Secord is an Anglo-Saxonist, studying the
literature and languages of Anglo-Saxon England (c. 450–1100 CE), which include
Old English, Latin, and Old Norse. He received his Ph.D. in Medieval Studies
from the University of Notre Dame in 2008 and then taught at the University of
Texas at Arlington until taking his position at UNM in
2012.
