  • 'Northern Gods in Marble'
    ‘NORTHERN GODS IN MARBLE’ The Romantic Rediscovery Marble of Norse Mythology [ KNUT LJØGODT ABSTRACT The Norse myths were rediscovered in the late 18th century, and became important to contemporary culture during the first half of the 19th century. The Romantics discussed the usage of themes from Norse mythology; soon, these themes became widespread in art and literature. Their popularity is closely connected with the national ideals and political situations of the period, but they were often given individual artistic interpretations. The ] Romantic interest in Norse myths and heroes held sway over artists and writers throughout the 19th century. KEYWORDS Norse myths, Norse heroes, pagan religion, Knud Baade, Romanticism vs Classicism. Introduction Karen Blixen’s short story ‘Sorrow-Acre’, published in Winter’s Tales (1942) takes place at a Danish country estate in the late 18th century. During a conversation between the baron and his nephew, they discuss Classical versus Norse mythol- ogy. The young man has discovered the Norse myths through a recently pub- lished work: ‘He mentioned the name of the author, Johannes Ewald, and recited a couple of the elevated verses.’ The book he refers to is Ewald’s play The Death of Balder (1775). He goes on to praise the Norse gods: ‘And I have wondered, while I read,’ he went on after a pause, still moved by the lines he himself had declaimed, ‘that we have not till now understood how much our Nordic my- thology in moral greatness surpasses that of Greece and Rome. If it had not been for the physical beauty of the ancient gods, which have come down to us in marble, no modern mind could hold them worthy of worship.

  • The Interjurisdictional Migration of European Authors of Liberty, 1660 – 1961: a Quantitative Analysis1
    1 January 12, 2016 THE INTERJURISDICTIONAL MIGRATION OF EUROPEAN AUTHORS OF LIBERTY, 1660 – 1961: A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS1 Niklas Potrafke2 Roland Vaubel3 Abstract Hume, Montesquieu and Kant were the first to suggest that the rise of liberty in Europe and the West has been due to political fragmentation and competition among rulers because the creative elites had the option of leaving the country in response to political repression. In this paper we estimate the extent to which emigrating authors of liberty actually reacted to such political and economic factors. We distinguish four types of repressive political events: restoration of an authoritarian monarchy, suppression of liberal protests, takeover by a totalitarian regime and occupation by a foreign repressive power. We test for additional explanations of emigration. Our sample of well-known authors of liberty includes 401 persons from twenty European countries in 1660 to 1961. Our logistic regressions yield the following main results. The repressive events did have significant and large effects on emigration with lags of up to five years. Emigration was also influenced by the author’s occupation and interjurisdictional income differentials. The probability of emigration was larger if the author was of middle age and lived in a small country but these effects were numerically small. The decision to emigrate was not affected by the author’s education.

    5. Th e Northern Heyday: 1830–1880 Tipping the Scales In Europe, the mid-nineteenth century witnessed a decisive change in the relative strength of North and South, confi rming a long-term trend that had been visible for a hundred years, and that had accelerated since the fall of Bonaparte. Great Britain was clearly the main driving force behind this development, but by no means the only one. Such key statistical indicators as population growth and GDP show an unquestionable strengthening in several of the northern nations. A comparison between, for instance, Britain, Germany and the Nordic countries, on the one hand, and France, Spain and Italy, on the other, shows that in 1830, the population of the former group was signifi cantly lower than that of the latter, i.e. 58 vs. 67 million.1 By 1880, the balance had shifted decisively in favour of the North, with 90 vs. 82 million. With regard to GDP, the trend is even more explicit. Available estimates from 1820 show that the above group of northern countries together had a GDP of approximately 67 billion dollars, as compared to 69 billion for the southern countries. In 1870, the GDP of the South had risen to 132 billion (a 91 percent increase), but that of the North to 187 billion (179 percent increase).2 During the 1830–1880 period, the Russian population similarly grew from 56 to 98 million, representing by far the biggest nation in the West, whereas the United States was rapidly climbing from only 13 to 50 million, and Canada from 1 to 4 million (“Population Statistics”, 2006).

  • Norse Women As Material for Modern Writing
    NORSE WOMEN AS MATERIAL FOR MODERN WRITING * RAMONA SIMU Ţ ABSTRACT. In the dawn of modernism, when most European cultural forums began to rede- fine the new structures of authority that better suited the social and political paradigms of their new turfs, the Northern countries were suddenly faced with original social and artistic move- ments prompted by the so-called “women emancipation”. In the 1870’ Denmark and Norway, this new wave was boldly christened the Danks/Norlsk Kvindesamfund (Danish/Norwegian Women Society), which is otherwise known as the next logical step towards restructuring social policies, while the first step was to legalize the United Left or the Liberal Party which support- ed the reforms brought on the continent by the international workers’ associations. Just like in the social sphere, these r evolutionizing ideas about women’s role in public and private life were promoted in literature by the contribution of already established male writers who gave voice to iconic female characters, and the case of Ibsen creating his Nora based on a real model is axiomatic. In what follows we will be looking at such “materials” in both masculine and femi- nine writings throughout 19 th century Norwegian literature, with a hint to the messianic, vi- sionary, realistic, and shocking perspectives that this sort of material had to offer to their re- spective readers. An important conclusion will be that the type of woman born under their pen name is not even remotely the fitting feminist profile of today’s novels; it rather mirrors the idea of normality which these writers wished for their country, and a reminder that social pow- er networks are superfluo us without women’s lucidity.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

  • Rees Ellen.Indd
    Ellen Rees University of Oslo [email protected] Bjerregaard’s (and Thrane’s, Wergeland’s, Aasen’s, Ibsen’s, Bjørnson’s, and Garborg’s) Fjeldeventyret (1825, 1844, 1853, 1857, 1865, and 1925) In 1825 the cultural elite in Christiania hailed Henrik Anker Bjerregaard and Waldemar �rane’s Fjeldeventyret as the �rst Norwegian national drama. In the century that followed concerted efforts were made to maintain this light musical drama’s status as a foundational national text, yet today it has all but disappeared from the canon. �is paper explores the ways in which major literary �gures such as Henrik Wergeland, Henrik Ibsen, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, Ivar Aasen, and Arne Garborg attempted to rework and frame the text. I will consider two modes of translation or adaptation: on the one hand Bjerregaard’s in�uential transformation of certain topographical features into consciously nationalist literary motifs, and on the other hand the strategies that the other authors employed to strengthen the status of Fjeldeventyret as a foundational text. Writing in 1966, Knut Nygaard argues that “Fjeldeventyrets litteratur- historiske betydning ligger ikke bare i det at det var det første full- stendige norske scenestykke skrevet etter 1814 som ble fremført i �alias tempel. Det var også det første levedyktige norske dikterverk med norsk natur og folkeliv, norsk språktone og norske mennesketyper”.1 Bjerregaard built his national drama on eighteenth-century models, particularly Holberg’s comedies and Ewald’s Fiskerne, with a keen sense of both the nuances of social status and the cultural divide between country and city dwellers. �e play serves as a primer that instructs urban viewers and readers, who were otherwise culturally oriented toward Copenhagen, in what aspects of the rural landscape and culture they should embrace as symbols for their emerging Norwegian identity.

Though below the Arctic Circle, Hustad lays slightly off the 63rd parallel north, which otherwise runs through Canada’s Nunavut and Yukon Territories, the Davis Strait, and the deep Russian tundra, far, far north of the traditional latitudes of Enlightenment.
