The Paganesque and The Tale of Vǫlsi

A Roundtable with Merrill Kaplan, Thomas DuBois and Sarah Iles Johnston

Tuesday, April 22, 3:30 - 5 pm

198 Hagerty Hall

1775 College Rd. S., Columbus, OH 43210


Merrill Kaplan’s recently published book The Paganesque and The Tale of Vǫlsi  (Boyder & Brewer, October 2024) will be the subject of a roundtable with the author as well as Thomas DuBois, Halls-Bascom Professor of Scandinavian Folklore, Folklore, and  Religious Studies in the Department of German, Nordic and Slavic at the University of Wisconsin, and Sarah Iles Johnston, Distinguished Professor of Religion at Ohio State University.

Dr. Merrill Kaplan is an Associate Professor of English and the Director of the OSU Center for Folklore Studies. Her book challenges the concept that the notorious horse penis is key to understanding the Tale of Vǫlsi, via the concept of the "paganesque".
