Sarah M. Anderson is a Senior Lecturer at Princeton University, affiliated with the English Department and the Council for the Humanities. She holds a Ph.D. in Medieval Studies from Cornell University. Her research focuses on early medieval languages and literatures, particularly Old English, Old Norse, and Old Icelandic, with secondary interests in textual criticism and Arthurian studies.
Before joining Princeton, Anderson was a research fellow at the Arnamagnæan Institute (University of Copenhagen), where she studied Old Icelandic sagas and contributed to the Dictionary of Old Norse Prose. She has also held a fellowship at Cornell’s Society for the Humanities, examining early printed editions of sagas and their role in national identity formation.
Her teaching spans Old English, Middle English romance, Arthurian literature, and interdisciplinary humanities courses like HUM 216-217 (Western Culture from Antiquity to the Middle Ages). She is developing new courses on early heroic literature and pilgrimage studies.
Key publications include Cold Counsel: Women in Old Norse Literature and Mythology (2002) and her editorial work for Beowulf: A Longman’s Cultural Edition (2004).
