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.

Download or read book Scandinavian Literature written by Joseph Bosworth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scandinavian Literature: With Short Chronological Specimens of the Old Danish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish, and a Notice of the Dalecarlian and Ferroe Dialects This is a very brief sketch of the language and literature of Scandinavia, taken from the introduction to the author's anglo-saxon Dictionary. F mm the old Danish (danska tunga), Normna or Icelandic tongue, sprung the modern Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, and those languages and dialects spoken from Greenland to Finland, from the Frozen Ocean to the Eideri. While it must be acknowledged, that a class of lan guages thus extensive deserves attention, Scandinavian literature has a peculiar claim from its singular poetry and mythology, given in the Eddas. Those who wish to enter more deeply into the subject than the limited space would here allow, may consult the authorities quoted in the fol lowing work. If they would see the northern poets in an elegant poetic dress, they will be much gratified by perusing Miscellaneous Poetry, and Select Icelandic Poetry, translated from the originals, with notes by the Honorable William Herbert, London, 1804, 2vols. 8vo. 168.

Download or read book Essays on Scandinavian Literature written by Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen and published by . This book was released on 1895 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Björnstjerne Björnson is the first Norwegian poet who can in any sense be called national. The national genius, with its limitations as well as its virtues, has found its living embodiment in him. Whenever he opens his mouth it is as if the nation itself were speaking. If he writes a little song, hardly a year elapses before its phrases have passed into the common speech of the people; composers compete for the honor of interpreting it in simple, Norse-sounding melodies, which gradually work their way from the drawing-room to the kitchen, the street, and thence out over the wide fields and highlands of Norway. His tales, romances, and dramas express collectively the supreme result of the nation's experience, so that no one to-day can view Norwegian life or Norwegian history except through their medium. The bitterest opponent of the poet (for like every strong personality he has many enemies) is thus no less his debtor than his warmest admirer. His speech has stamped itself upon the very language and given it a new ring, a deeper resonance. His thought fills the air, and has become the unconscious property of all who have grown to manhood and womanhood since the day when his titanic form first loomed up on the horizon of the North. It is not only as their first and greatest poet that the Norsemen love and hate him, but also as a civilizer in the widest sense. But like Kadmus, in Greek myth, he has not only brought with him letters, but also the dragon-teeth of strife, which it is to be hoped will not sprout forth in armed men. A man's ancestry and environment, no doubt, account in a superficial manner for his appearance and mental characteristics. Having the man, we are able to trace the germs of his being in the past of his race and his country; but, with all our science we have not yet acquired the ingenuity to predict the man—to deduce him a priori from the tangle of determining causes which enveloped his birth. It seems beautifully appropriate in the Elder Edda that the god-descended hero Helge the Völsung should be born amid gloom and terror in a storm which shakes the house, while the Norns—the goddesses of fate—proclaim in the tempest his tempestuous career. Equally satisfactory it appears to have the modern champion of Norway—the typical modern Norseman—born on the bleak and wild Dovre Mountain, where there is winter eight months of the year and cold weather during the remaining four. The parish of Kvikne, in Oesterdalen, where his father, the Reverend Peder Björnson, held a living, had a bad reputation on account of the unruly ferocity and brutal violence of the inhabitants. One of the Reverend Peder Björnson's recent predecessors never went into his pulpit, unarmed; and another fled for his life. The peasants were not slow in intimating to the new pastor that they meant to have him mind his own business and conform to the manners and customs of the parish; but there they reckoned without their host. The reverend gentleman made short work of the opposition. He enforced the new law of compulsory education without heeding its unpopularity; and when the champion fighter of the valley came as the peasants' spokesman to take him to task in summary fashion, he found himself, before he was aware of it, at the bottom of the stairs, where he picked himself up wonderingly and promptly took to his heels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Englishman and the Scandinavian: Or, a Comparison of Anglo-Saxon and Old Norse Literature The germ, or rather an outline sketch, of this volume is contained in a tractate, printed by the author for private circulation in the autumn of 1 876. This caught the attention of persons who read it, men and women alike. They were interested in the subject, which in this light was comparatively new to them. Could not the outline be filled in and the essay developed into a book? What they wanted was an exposition of the subject - the cus toms, notions, language, and literature of the two peoples, based on the most rigid research, but adapted for a wider class of readers than students only - a kind of bird's-eye view of the whole matter, but with sufficient depth and colour. Dry facts by all means, but so grouped as to catch the fancy as well as inform the understanding. The two need not clash. The author took the hint, and has striven to the best of his ability to meet their wishes. The result is before the reader. When the writer was a boy, the days of our forefathers seemed portentously far off, almost more so than those of the ancient Greeks. In the study of them, it required, so to say, a strong effort in order to place oneself in a posture of mind suitable to the occasion: Um sich ein.
