'The Scandinavian Runic Memorial Inscriptions in the Isle of Man and Scotland: A Comparative Study'
Date(s): May 1999
Creator(s): Dalby, Kathleen
Scope & Content: Extended essay in Scandinavian Literature or Cultural Studies submitted to the Department of Scandinavian Studies, University College London as part of a BA degree in Humanities with Scandinavian Studies. The author sets out her aim as being to compare and contrast the Scandinavian runic memorial inscriptions in the Isle of Man and Scotland (including the Northern and Western Isles) by comparing the texts of the corpus of inscriptions and breaking the inscriptions down into their component parts, such as orthography and rune forms. Dalby justifies partly her choice of geographical locations by stating that the Norse tongue in the British Isles had its strongest status in Man and Scotland. Includes tables of family memorials and linguistic differences as shown in the runes used on stone memorials.
