    The Holadomkirkja font, by GuSmundur GuSmundsson of Bjarnastadahlfd. Pjodminjasafn Islands [National Museum of Iceland]. Photograph: Ivar Brynjolfsson. chapter 2 Baroque Literature Mainland Europe The baroque is a relatively modern concept as applied to literature and emerged at a time when it would have occurred to no one to apply it to the literature of his own day. The word has its origins in the Romance languages, and it was Italian humanists who first adopted it to describe intellectual contradictions and unsatisfactory reasoning. In sixteenth-century France the term “ baroque,” prob­ ably a loan-word from Portugal, was used to describe unevenly shaped precious stones that were to be polished. It was not until the twentieth century that the term was adopted in earnest in literary analysis. Previously it had been used rather negatively to denote eccentricities and exaggerations of style. With the emergence of impressionism, and following the example of the Swiss art historian Heinrich Wolfflin (i888), scholars began to employ the word when referring to intellectual originality, stylistic freedom and artistic innovation. After World War I expressionism helped to stimulate German interest in the seventeenth century, and we can speak of a re-evaluation or even revival of the literature and art of that period, which by this time had become widely associated with the baroque. In his study of twentieth-century baroque research Ferdinand van Ingen (1966) argues that scholars’ conclusions were frequently contradictory and irreconcilable and that no agreement as to the meaning of “ baroque” had yet emerged. For some it described an i 3 14 Icelandic Baroque attitude to life, for others a feature of literary form; some dated its emergence back to the eighteenth century, while others avoided questions of chronology altogether.

  • Oh Come, Let Us Worship! Page 2
    O Come, Let Us Worship! Rev. Mark E. DeGarmeaux 1995 Synod Convention Essay A Study in Lutheran Liturgy and Hymnody I. The Church Service II. The Church Song Christian music on earth is nothing but a foretaste of or a Prelude to everlasting life, since here we only intone and sing the Antiphons until through temporal death we sing the Introit and the Sequence, and in everlasting life the true Completory and the Hymns in all eternity. Nikolaus Selnecker I. The Church Service O come, let us sing to the LORD Let us make a joyful noise to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving Let us make a joyful noise to Him with psalms. For the LORD is the great God And the great King above all gods. In His hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights of the hills are His also. The sea is His, for He made it; And His hands formed the dry land. O come, let us worship and bow down Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture, And the sheep of His hand. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, forevermore. Amen. (Psalm 95, the Venite from the Office of Matins) God created our world perfect and in harmony with Himself and His holiness. All the earth was to serve man and glorify God, so "let everything that has breath praise the LORD" (Psalm 150:6).

  • Fighting for Her Profession: Dorothe Engelbretsdatter's Discourse of Self
    Chapter 4 Fighting for Her Profession: Dorothe Engelbretsdatter’s Discourse of Self- Defence Marie Nedregotten Sørbø As Aphra Behn argued for her vocation as the first professional woman writer in England, a six- year older Norwegian colleague did the same from her corner of Europe. Dorothe Engelbretsdatter (1634– 1716) is considered the first professional poet in Denmark- Norway. Her fight for her art and her livelihood was sometimes fierce. The need to earn money from her writing made her try to defend her copyrights. There were pirate editions attempting to cash in on her success, and she turned on the publishers with enter- taining if harsh polemics. Others accused her of plagiarising male predecessors, and she responded in counter- attacks in the form of occasional verse. Her fights paid off, and she was awarded royal sup- port in the form of tax release for life. Her publication history and struggles throw light on the possibilities and limitations of women’s entrance into the market of commercial publication around 1700. Her explicit polemics as well as the argument implied in much of her poetry, that women could and should write, reminds us of sim- ilar features in the texts of Behn or Anne Bradstreet. Her seemingly humble submission to male superiority while aiming kicks at the trouser folk, demonstrates the urgently felt need to be admitted to the book market. ∵ When a canon of 25 works from across the ages was set up for the Norwegian Literary Festival in 2007, only four women were represented among 21 men.1 1 The four chosen women were (in chronological order) Camilla Collett, Sigrid Undset, Cora Sandel and Gunvor Hofmo.

  • A Remote Island Within a Danish Kingdom
    chapter 4 A Remote Island Within a Danish Kingdom The baroque is not a stylistic phenomenon or agenda that appears periodically in literature; the baroque text emerged at a particular time and was closely connected to a particular type of society. The chronological boundaries of the period can be debated but we may certainly situate it between the Reformation and the onset of roman- ticism, and it certainly includes the seventeenth century. During the baroque period society was notable for the power of the monarchy and the cultural dominance of the church, and the baroque text may be regarded as the intellectual offspring of these two centers of authority. It flourished particularly in learned society; it was innovative and yet its features derive from ancient tradition. This chapter aims to present an overview of seventeenth-century Icelandic society, examining its cultural assumptions and literary practices. In his study of the baroque in Scandinavian literature Wilhelm Friese identifies two cultural environments in which seventeenth-cen- tury baroque literature thrived: courtly and non-courtly. There was, first of all, the society in and around the courts of Vienna and Versailles, and also of Copenhagen and Stockholm, where the court was the political and cultural heart of each state. Christian IV ruled Denmark until 1648 and will long be remembered for the splendid buildings he commissioned. He sought out the finest architects, artists, and musicians from England, Holland, and Germany and found projects for all of them in Denmark. In the king’s service we find bourgeois officials, scholars, and artists, all of whose work 57 58 Icelandic Baroque sought to celebrate royal power and glory and to reflect a world governed by order and harmony.

  • En Analyse Av Språket I Anna Hansdatter Tormods Brev Fra Perioden 1714–1722
    Maal og minne 1-2021 99–129 Novus forlag · eISSN 1890-5455 En analyse av språket i Anna Hansdatter Tormods brev fra perioden 1714–1722 Av Agnete Nesse Denne artikkelen er et forsøk på å utforske mulighetene for å utvikle ny inn- sikt i hvordan det var for norske skrivere i dansketiden å tilegne seg skrift- språket. Metoden er å bruke tilnærminger til skriftspråklig variasjon brukt innenfor forskning på begynneropplæring på et historisk materiale. Tekstene som blir utsatt for analyse i denne artikkelen, er brev skrevet av en voksen dame på begynnelsen av 1700-tallet. Disse brevene har, selv hvis en sam- menligner med brev skrevet av andre skrivere i samme tid, mye variasjon og mange ortografiske særegenheter. Slike uvanlige skrivemåter har i språkhis- torisk forskning tradisjonelt blitt rubrisert som enten interessante norvagis- mer – altså norske dialekttrekk i tekster skrevet på det dansknorske fellesspråket – eller som uinteressant feilskriving uten språkhistorisk verdi. Det er min påstand at også andre trekk enn det som kan rubriseres som dia- lekttrekk, har en plass i norsk språkhistorie. 1 Innledning Det vært lang tradisjon i Norge for å reservere interessen for dansketid - ens skriftspråk for det som kan klassifiseres som ikke-danske språktrekk i tekster skrevet i Norge. Typiske eksempler på språktrekk som har vært pekt på som norskheter, er bruk av diftong der dansk har monoftong (norsk stein mot dansk sten), bruk av p, t, k der dansk skrift har b, d, g1 og bruk av g i ord der dansk skrift har v (norsk hage mot dansk have). 1. Det er et poeng her at det er dansk skrift og ikke nødvendigvis dansk tale som har b, d, g.

  • Nodebog Gorset & Friends Popular Music in 18Th Century Norway
    Hans Olav Gorset & friends Nodebog Gorset & friends Popular music in 18th century Norway NODEBOG presents musical pleasures and “divertissements” from 18th century Norway. The melodies are found in hand-written music books containing both international “hits” well known throughout Europe and local favourites – Halling dances and Pols dances are featured alongside minuets, marches and English country dances. These rediscovered treasures from the past can only be recreated through living performance today, here by flautist Hans Olav Gorset and his fellow musicians. These melodies may not seem important to the music historian, but to the listener they certainly are – being international “hits” of yesterday – and, who knows, perhaps becoming the hits of today! NODEBOG presenterer «Fornøyelig Tiids-fordriv» – populære melodier fra 1700-tallets Norge. De gjenoppdagede skattene fra fortiden gjenskapes og formidles av fløytisten Hans Olav Gorset og hans medmusikanter. Lokale innslag i form av hallinger og polsdanser står side om side med internasjonale menuetter, marsjer og engelskdanser. For musikkhistorikeren kan melodiene synes uviktige, men ikke for lytteren. De er gårsdagens slagere – og, hvem vet – kanskje blir de «hits» også i dag!

  • Petter Dass (1647-1707)
    PETTER DASS (1647-1707) John Simpson Petter Dass, a Lutheran clergyman in northern Norway, and a poet, was the first major figure in modern Norwegian literature. Scots can also take pride in him as a part-product of the Scottish diaspora. Petter Dass's father was Peter Dundas, who came from Dundee to Bergen in the early 1630s. It's sometimes said that he emigrated because he disapproved of the church policies of Charles I. But I've never seen the evidence for this; and it does sound like the high­ minded sort of reason that people in later times wish to believe that their family had for emigrating. At least as many seventeenth-century Scots emigrated to better themselves in the things of this world, either as a mercenary soldier or, as seems to be the case here, as a merchant. There are some Dundases recorded earlier than this in Bergen, and they may well have been of the same family. This was the period when the Hanseatic merchants were losing a grip on the trade ofNorway that had lasted for some four centuries; and as Edgar Lythe says 'in place of the Hanse a cosmopolitan mercantile community was created by Dutch, Danish, Scottish, and native merchants, under whose influence Norway's external trade acquired a greater degree of geographical flexibility. ' While in Norway, the poet's father spelled his surname as two separate words - Don Dass. Subsequently many, though not all, ofthe family abbreviated this to Dass. There's a rather jolly but speculative suggestion about this by a nineteenth-century British writer, Andrew Johnston: 'the worthy Norsemen, who, I suppose, then as now, had much intercourse with Spain, mistook the "Dun" of Dundas for the Spanish prefix "Don", and..
