Janet L. Nelson

Janet L. Nelson

Professor Dame Janet Laughland Nelson, DBE, FBA (born 1942), is a British academic, scholar and writer at King's College London.

Her research to date has been focused on early medieval Europe, including Anglo-Saxon England. She has published widely on kingship, government, political ideas, religion and ritual, and increasingly on women and gender during this period.

Nelson is authoring a biography of Charlemagne, as well as co-directing, with Simon Keynes (of Cambridge University), the AHRC-funded project Prosopography of Anglo-Saxon England.

She has co-edited and/or authored the following:
* "Courts, Elites and Gendered Power in the Early Middle Ages" (Aldershot, 2007)
* (with P. Wormald) ed., "Lay Intellectuals in the Carolingian World" (Cambridge, 2007)
* ed., Timothy Reuter, "Medieval Politics and Modern Mentalities" (Cambridge, 2007)
* (with P. Stafford and J. Martindale) ed., "Law, Laity and Solidarities: Essays in Honour of Susan Reynolds" (Manchester, 2001)
* (with P. Linehan) ed.,"The Medieval World" (London, 2001)
* (with F. Theuws) ed., "Rituals of Power from Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages" (Leiden, 2000)
* "Rulers and Ruling Families in Earlier Medieval Europe" (London, 1999)
* "The Frankish World" (London, 1996)
* "Charles the Bald" (London, 1992)
* "Politics and Ritual in Early Medieval Europe" (London, 1986)

Her biographical study, "Charles the Bald" her annotated translation of "The Annals of St-Bertin" and other papers reflect her interest in Frankish kingship and in the Vikings on the Continent, while other papers on Alfred of Wessex address comparable themes in Anglo-Saxon history.
