Welcome to Alaric Hall’s website!

I am an associate professor in the School of English, University of Leeds, where I research the Eurasian Middle Ages, and Iceland from the Middle Ages to the present, and teach across the full range of English Studies. For academic stuff, this website has my most accurate and complete publication lists, and most up-to-date links to free-access online texts of my work.

In 2025-26, I am on leave of absence from Leeds for family reasons, studying for a Bachelor of Education degree at the University of Calgary in Canada.

I'm also offering online private tuition in Old and Middle English, Old Norse, and beginners' modern Icelandic.

Otherwise, I like to play drums, learn languages, edit Wikipedia, stay in my tent, and participate in environmental activism. I put a lot of time into campaigning with Leeds Green Party.
