Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Scandinavian Literature Some twenty years ago the ambition seized me to write a History of Scandinavian Literature. I scarcely realized then what an enormous amount of reading would be required to equip me for this task. My studies naturally led me much beyond the s00pe of my original intention. There was a fascination in the work which lured me perpetually on, and made me explore with a constantly increas ing zest the great literary personalities of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Thus my chapter on Hen rik Ibsen grew into a book of three hundred and seventeen pages, which was published a year ago, and must be regarded as supplementary to the present volume. The chapter on Bjornstjerne Bjornson was in danger of expanding to similar proportions, and only the most heroic condensation saved it from challenging criticism as an inde pendent work. As regards Norway and Denmark, I have endeavored to select all the weightiest and most representative names. The Swedish authors Johan Ludvig Runeberg, Mrs. Edgren, and Au gust Strindberg, and the Dane Oehlenschlaeger.

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay Toward a History of Shakespeare in Denmark That there are gaps and errors, I am well aware. It could hardly be otherwise in a field so little explored. I venture to point out also that the monograph has been written thousands of miles from the sources at a time when the lines of communication have been worse than uncertain. It has been impossible, therefore, to verify many statements, or to subject others to a new scrutiny. My thanks are due to the american-scandinavian Foundation and to the University of Chicago, whose generous support made my studies abroad possible, to the authorities of the Royal and University libraries at Copenhagen for their courtesy and helpfulness, and to my Wife, who relieved me of most of the drudgery of copying materials.

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Literature of the Scandinavian North From the Most Ancient Times to the Present That in early times became detached from the great folk-tree which we usually call the gothic-germanic (or Teutonic) race. This branch embraces the inhabitants of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland. The latter be longs, though merely ih a political sense, to Denmark. In the following review of the intellectual life of these nations, as it has, in the course of time, found expression in litera ture, we propose to consider the inhabitants of the four countries named collectively, although they at the present time, not only in politics, but also in many other respects, possess strongly marked national individualities, and differ one from the other in many things. We feel justified in so doing for the reason that they, in spite of differences, and, in spite of all the feuds and conflicts that have divided them in the past, still in reality constitute a unity, which, quite unlike the other European peoples, even those which are most nearly related to one another, has acquired to the close observer a common physiognomy. They are sister nations, which, with the changes that time has wrought, have in some respects been developed each in her own peculiar manner. They have frequently met as foes, but in spite of this, they have preserved the mark of kin ship, that became their common inheritance when they.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Primitive Inhabitants of Scandinavia: An Essay on Comparative Ethnography, and a Contribution to the History of the Development of Mankind If the Science of Prehistoric Archaeology had long excited as much interest in this country as it does at present, Professor Nilsson's work on the Aborigines of Scandinavia would not now be appearing in an English translation for the first time. M. Morlot has truly observed, that the wonderful advance recently made in our knowledge of ancient men, and particularly the division of European history into the three eras, the Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages, is 'due chiefly to the labours of M. Thomsen, Director of the Ethnological and Archaeological Museum at Copenhagen, and to those of Professor Nilsson, of the flourishing University of Lund.' Both these archaeologists, however, unfortunately for us, write in languages hut little understood in this country, and their labours, in consequence, have remained almost unknown. When, therefore. Messrs. Longman & Co. requested me to edit an English translation of Professor Nilsson's 'Stone Age, ' I very gladly undertook to do so.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Scandinavian Literature and Theater written by Jan Sjåvik and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2006-04-19 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literature of Scandinavia is amazingly rich and varied, consisting of the works produced by the countries of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland, and stretching from the ancient Norse Sagas to the present day. While much of it is unknown outside of the region, some has gained worldwide popularity, including the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen, the stories of Isak Dinesen, and the plays of Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg. While obviously including the area's most famous works, the Historical Dictionary of Scandinavian Literature and Theater also provides information on lesser known authors and currents trends, literary circles and journals, and historical background. This is accomplished through a list of acronyms, a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and several hundred cross-referenced dictionary entries, which together make this reference the most comprehensive and up to date work of its kind related to Scandinavian literature and theater available anywhere.
