Martina Guzzetti
This paper focuses on English taboo vocabulary concerning female anatomy as represented in lexicography. It examines the Oxford English Dictionary and its many biases and subjectivity concerning gender, among other things. The analysis considers the three editions of the dictionary, the diachronic evolution of taboo words, how these have been defined in the OED, and tabooing practices like euphemism or dysphemism. Results show how linguistic censorship promotes the creation of highly inventive new expressions and sheds light on the culture(s) that enforce the use of taboo words and the ideologies behind their inevitably selective representation in lexicography.

The Austrfararvísur (Verses on a Journey to the East) could be defined as a poem of borders: in these vísur Sigvatr Þórðarson, the skald of Óláfr the Saint, narrates his crossing of various geographical, political, and religious borders. Austrfararvísur are preserved in Snorri Sturluson’s Óláfs saga helga and concern the famous episode of Sigvatr’s visit to Västergötland, where he attempted to mediate a peace deal between King Óláfr Haraldsson of Norway and the king of Sweden. The text describes dramatic moments and inhospitable places that Sigvatr experienced in his travel from Norway to Sweden, where an immense forest still serves as a natural border today. This was also the natural border that the Norwegian dynasty traversed when, in prehistoric times, Swedish kings moved from Sweden to Norway. Now Sigvatr follows the same path, but in the opposite direction.

Chiara De Bastiani
This paper discusses how combining research in meter, syntax and information structure can enhance our understanding of the syntax of a given historical text and help provide insights into the relation between metrical prominence and information structure. The contribution illustrates two case studies conducted on historical English texts: the Old English Beowulf and the Early Middle English Ormulum. I argue that integrating an investigation of meter into the study of both information structure and syntax can refine the methodological tools available to the historical linguist and philologist.

F. Fastelli, D. Salvadori
This article analyzes Leonora Carrington’s Down Below from a double perspective. First, we want to offer an interpretative framework, in order to contextualize Carrington's literary production within the Surrealist avant-garde. Furthermore, the article examines the literary geographies of Carrington's writing, offering a parallel reading of Down Below with The Hearing Trumpet, focusing on the interconnection between physical space and the body, a geography made of flesh, which can be analyzed according to the hermeneutical lines of neo materialism.

In the Early Middle Ages, the North Sea region – particularly the Frisian territory – served as the arena for deep and requent contacts among the Germanic tribes settled on the coastal regions. This contribution aims to analyse samples of sources ranging from literary texts to runic inscriptions, which demonstrate that the nature of such interactions was neither distinctly peaceful nor warlike, but was rather marked by a degree of ambiguity and complexity.

The article aims to trace the transmedia narrative of gendered otherness in John Logan’s Penny Dreadful. After a brief introduction to the theoretical framework concerning the subversive constructions of neo-Victorian monstrosity, the article examines the character of Miss Vanessa Ives in Penny Dreadful as an example of the fortunate intersection between the concepts of abjection and female agency.
