Dr Elina Screen
I am temporary College Lecturer in Medieval History at University College during Dr Catherine Holmes' research leave (1.10.2016-31.3.2017), and College Lecturer in Medieval History at Trinity College. I teach early medieval history c.300-1100, and my research focuses on the Carolingian world, Viking-age Scandinavia and Anglo-Saxon coins.
Sylloge of the Coins of the British Isles 66: Norwegian Collections II. Anglo-Saxon and Later British Coins 1016-1279
Every coin is illustrated and described
Comprehensive indexes of mints and moneyers
Completes the two-part catalogue of Anglo-Saxon and British medieval coins (up to 1279) in Norwegian Collections
- Carolingian Francia, c.700-900
- Norway in the Viking age
- Numismatics and charters
I work on early medieval history, focusing especially upon ninth-century Francia and the contribution made by the charter evidence, and on the coinage evidence for Scandinavia in the Viking age. I have recently completed the Anglo-Saxon Coins in Norway project, publishing 4230 coins and fragments of Anglo-Saxon and later English and Scottish to 1279 in Norwegian museums. I am General Editor of the Medieval European Coinage Project. This British Academy Research Project, based at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, is publishing a history of European coinage c.400-1500 in 20 volumes (for details, see the project website at http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/research/mec).
I would be willing to hear from potential Masters students looking at Early Medieval History, especially Carolingian Francia and Scandinavia in the Viking age.
I currently teach:
