Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Norway The several religious societies will accept my thanks for their aid generously furnished me, and with my warm thanks, a warmer wish, that our Heavenly Father may always con tinue to smile propitiously on them, and fit them, more than ever, for the full enjoyment of a blessed immortality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Norway and the Norwegians The growing attractiveness of Norse scenery to English and American travellers, whereof the returns of steam ship companies and hotels would be sufficient evidence, has been witnessed also by the production during recent years of a good many books descriptive of the country. The present volume is not an addition to the number of these. It does not, that is to say, aim chiefly at describing what the tourist may expect to see in Nor way; but rather at supplying those items of informa tion which the most sharp-sighted traveller could not get from observation alone; some of those links which unite the Norway of to-day to the Norway of the past, and the parts of the existing life of the country visible to the eye to other parts which the mere tourist cannot participate in, the life of politics, of industry, of literature, which belongs to the inhabitants of a country but not to the visitors to. It. A final chapter, kindly written for me by Miss E. Tindall, deals upon the same plan'with the Flora of Norway.

Download or read book History of the Norwegian People Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Knut Gjerset and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Norwegian People, Vol. 1 The growing interest in Norwegian language, literature, and culture in this country has created a special need for a history of the Norwegian people in the English language devoting sufficient attention to the more important phases of the people's life to show the development of their institutions and culture, their life at home, and their activity and influence abroad. It has been my aim in this work to meet this demand by having constantly in mind what questions an intelligent reader might be expected to ask, and by trying, as far as possible, to answer them. In the Middle Ages the Scandinavian peoples were potent factors in developing navigation, commerce, municipal life and government, literature and culture in northern Europe. But nothing has been taken for granted, nor has any theory been advanced beyond what is clearly established by the investigations of the best schol ars. The way to the original sources has, therefore, always been pointed out, and these have been used in a conservative spirit. The views of the leading scholars have been followed, and some times preference has been purposely given to the more conservative views on points where there is or might be a difference of opinion. On the whole I have deemed it advisable to adhere to Snorre Sturlason's healthful principle: It seems better to us that some thing should be added later than that anything should have to be stricken out. The period of the union with Denmark has been treated with some fullness of detail. The preservation of the people's per sonal freedom amidst general national decay, the germs of a new development distinctly traceable in social life has been especially dwelt upon, not only because these features are characteristic of the life of the Norwegian people in that period, but because they constitute the basis of their political and social development in modern times. Regarding Norway's long struggle for complete independence after 1814 an attempt has been made to state facts fearlessly and impartially, without any spirit of antagonism against the noble and heroic Swedish people, who are and will be Norway's truest friends.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Kings of Norway The beginning of his great adventure was of a romantic character - youthful love for the beautiful Gyda, a then glori ous and famous young lady of those regions, whom the young Harald aspired to marry. Gyda answered his embassy and prayer in a distant, lofty manner: Her it would not be seem to wed any J arl or poor creature of that kind let him do as Gorm Of Denmark, Eric of Sweden, Egbert of Eng land, and others had done, - subdue into peace and regula tion the confused, contentious bits of jarls around him, and become a king; then, perhaps, she might think of his pro posal till then, not.' Harald was struck with this proud answer, which rendered Gyda tenfold more desirable to him. He vowed to let his hair grow, never to cut or even to comb it till this feat were done, and the peerless Gyda his own. He proceeded accordingly to conquer, in fierce battle, a Jarl or two every year, and at the end of twelve years had his nu kempt (and almost unimaginable) head of hair clipt Off - Jarl rognwald (reginald) Of Mere, the most valued and valuable of all his subject-jarls, being promoted to this sublime bar ber function after which King Harald, with head thoroughly cleaned, and hair grown, or growing again to the luxuriant beauty that had no equal in his day, brought home his Gyda, and made her the brightest queen in all the North. He had after her, in succession, or perhaps even simultaneously in some cases, at least six other wives and by Gyda herself one daughter and four sons.
