Victoria (V.M.) Whitworth (née Thompson in London 1966) is an Anglo-Scots novelist, archaeologist and art historian. Her published writings, which focus on Britain in the later first millennium AD, include both novels and academic works.
Whitworth studied English (specialising in Medieval languages, literature and archaeology) at St Anne's College, Oxford, before doing an MA and a D.Phil in York. Since 2012 she has been a lecturer at the Centre for Nordic Studies on the Orkney campus of the University of the Highlands and Islands.[1] Her research is now primarily focused on Pictish, Scottish and Anglo-Saxon stone sculpture. Whitworth has published two historical novels set in AD 900 England.[2]
