  • Markens Grøde (1917) I Et Bokhistorisk Perspektiv
    MARKENS GRØDE (1917) I ET BOKHISTORISK PERSPEKTIV Ståle Dingstad Sammendrag: Markens Grøde (1917) forbindes gjerne med Hamsuns periode som jordbruker på Hamarøy og knyttes nært til nordlandsnaturen. Det er ikke helt galt, men et godt stykke fra sannheten. For det var sørover Hamsun flyttet da han ikke orket mer av jordbrukslivet nordpå. Og det var til byen Larvik i Vestfold fylke han reiste der han bosatte seg med familien og fullførte romanen. Artikkelen forsøker å belyse noen av rammebetingelsene for fullføringen av romanen. Det er betingelser knyttet til tid, sted og mennesker i nærmiljøet gjennom våren, sommeren og høsten 1917. Grenselandet der Hamsun leide seg et uthus for å arbeide, heter Nanset og lå mellom bykommunen Larvik og landkommunen Hedrum. Videre tar artikkelen for seg distribusjonen og resepsjonen av romanen og noen av de konsekvensene som fulgte med tildelingen av Nobels litteraturpris i 1920 for denne romanen. Av særlig interesse er det å undersøke hvilken virkning romanen hadde gjennom mellomkrigstiden med hensyn til den rasismen og antisemittismen som kommer til uttrykk i romanen. Mens flere anmeldere sluttet seg til Hamsuns synspunkter, advarte anmelderen Carl Joachim Hambro som den eneste, mot Hamsuns tenkemåte. Den belyses derfor nærmere gjennom møtet med handelsmannen Aron i romanen og Hamsuns nabo på Nanset, Israel Leib Sachnowitz. Abstract Growth of the Soil (1917) is usually associated with Hamsun’s period as a farmer on Hamarøy and is closely connected to the nature of Nordland. That is not completely wrong, but far from the truth, as Hamsun moved south when he grew tired of the farming life up North.

  • Knut Hamsun at the Movies in Transnational Contexts
    KNUT HAMSUN AT THE MOVIES IN TRANSNATIONAL CONTEXTS Arne Lunde This article is a historical overview that examines how the literary works of Knut Hamsun have been adapted into films over the past century. This “Cook’s Tour” of Hamsun at the movies will trace how different national and transnational cinemas have appropri- ated his novels at different historical moments. This is by no means a complete and exhaustive overview. The present study does not cite, for example, Hamsun films made for television or non-feature length Hamsun films. Thus I apologize in advance for any favorite Hamsun-related films that may have been overlooked. But ideally the article will address most of the high points in the international Hamsun filmography. On the subject of the cinema, Hamsun is famously quoted as having said in the 1920s: “I don’t understand film and I’m at home in bed with the flu” (Rottem 2). Yet while Hamsun was volun- tarily undergoing psychoanalysis in Oslo in 1926, he writes to his wife Marie about wishing to learn to dance and about going to the movies more (Næss 129). Biographer Robert Ferguson reports that in 1926, Hamsun began regularly visiting the cinemas in Oslo “taking great delight in the experience, particularly enjoying adventure films and comedies” (Ferguson 286). So we have the classic Hamsun paradox of conflicting statements on a subject, in this case the movies. Meanwhile, it is also important to remember that the films that Hamsun saw in 1926 would still have been silent movies with intertitles and musical accompaniment, and thus his poor hearing would not have been an impediment to his enjoyment.

  • Hamsun and Tammsaare1
    354 INTERLITT ERA RIA 2018, 23/2: 354–366 KÕVAMEES Variations on a Motive: Hamsun and Tammsaare1 ANNELI KÕVAMEES Abstract. In 1935 Ma armastasin sakslast (I Loved a German) was published. In 1928 Victoria (1898) by Knut Hamsun (1859–1952) was published in Estonian. The first was written and the second translated by A. H. Tammsaare (1878– 1940). Parallels between these two authors have been most often discussed in connection with Pan (1894) and Kõrboja peremees (The Master of Kõrboja, 1922). Both authors have earned their canonical position in literature thanks to the novels Markens Grøde (Growth of the Soil) (1917), in the case of Hamsun, and Tõde ja õigus (Truth and Justice, I–V, 1926–1933) in the case of Tammsaare. These novels have been “sorted out” to be included in the canon, while Ma armastasin sakslast and Victoria have not received as much attention. In both novels love is the central theme – in Hamsun’s novel the main characters are the miller’s son Johannes and the landlord’s daughter Victoria, and in Tammsaare’s novel the student Oskar and a baron’s grand daughter, Erika. This article examines the connections between Hamsun and Tammsaare by analysing the novels Victoria and Ma armastasin sakslast, discussing among others the motive that has been widely used in world literature, namely the (archetypical) story of lovers – Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare. Both novels can be considered as variations on that motive as Tammsaare, for example, adds the social aspect, so that the archetypical love story set in the Republic of Estonia enables him to discuss topics essential to him.

  • Hunger Knut Hamsun
    Hunger Knut Hamsun Sult (1890; Hunger) is Hamsun's breakthrough novel about a young writer struggling to maintain his dignity while trying to survive in a desolate and lonely world. INTRODUCTION Published in 1890, Hunger was a literary breakthrough for Hamsun, establishing him as one of the most important writers of his time. Written from the perspective of a struggling writer living in the city of Christiania, near Oslo, Norway, the story is somewhat autobiographical, reflecting Hamsun's own struggle as he worked to establish his literary reputation. Today, the work is acknowledged as a work of powerful originality, infused with Hamsun's unique writing style, and a premier example of the psychological novel. Following the publication of Hunger, Hamsun went on to write several other novels, including Mysteries (1892), Pan (1894), and Growth of the Soil (1917). The last earned Hamsun a Nobel Prize in Literature in 1920, thus paving the way for his work to be translated into other languages, and becoming accessible to larger audiences. Hamsun was born in 1859 in Lom, Gudbrandsdal. His parents, Peder and Tora Pederson, were forced to move the family to the town of Hamaroey for financial reasons. There, a wealthy uncle had acquired a farm called Hamsund, which they were to farm. Hamsun was separated from his family at the age of nine to go and work for his uncle, who also owned and ran the town post office. The young Hamsun was ill-treated by his uncle, who often starved and beat him. Years later, Hamsun would continue to refer to the abuse he suffered at the hands of his uncle, which he believed, was responsible for many of his chronic nervous illnesses.

  • The Problem with Biblical Motifs in Knut Hamsun's
    THE PROBLEM WITH BIBLICAL MOTIFS IN KNUT HAMSUN’S GROWTH OF THE SOIL1 Tom Conner Abstract: Religion does not play a major role in Norwegian Nobel laureate Knut Hamsun’s work. The one brilliant exception to this detached and seemingly cavalier attitude toward religion or, should I say, Christianity, is Hamsun’s masterpiece, Growth of the Soil (1917), which won him the Nobel Prize in literature in 1920. In this mythic novel, Hamsun draws upon a plethora of biblical motifs to create a heroic cosmogony that proposes an alternative to the rapid social and economic transformation under way in Norway in the second half of the nineteenth century and a vision of Norway founded on the cultivation of the land through hard labour and the populating of the earth. Numerous critics have remarked on the Biblical allusions in the novel (e.g., Per Thomas Andersen, Nettum, Rottem, Storfjell, Øyslebo); however, only Rolf Steffensen and Andreas Lødemel have studied the role of religion in Growth of the Soil in any depth. I will expand upon their work to examine whether Biblical allusions are part of a rhetorical strategy that aims at a coherent worldview. Biblical motifs cleverly interspersed throughout the novel suggest that it is always gesturing toward a world outside its pages through a dialog with pre-existing texts, in this case the Bible, absorbing and transforming voices from culture and society, historical memory and national identity. I will reexamine not only the place of Christianity in this important novel but also the foundational myth that undergirds it, that is, the idea that Isak is the founder not so much of a new civilization as a biblical exemplum of a traditional way of life and old values based on the cultivation of the land.

  • Knut Hamsun's Markens Grøde in the Anthropocene
    Reinhard Hennig (Kristiansand) about: Knowing the Right Thing, but Not Doing It Knut Hamsun’s Markens grøde in the Anthropocene Abstract Knut Hamsun’s novel Markens grøde has been interpreted as advocating a simple and sustainable life in harmony with nature. However, when read retrospectively against the background of human-made environmental changes that have brought the planet into a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene, Markens grøde cannot be considered an ecological text. What the novel actually delivers is a narrative of constant progress and growth, without consideration of potential limits or unintended detrimental side-effects. In Markens grøde, human nature is assumed to create desires that can only be fulfilled through permanent increases in production and consumption, irrespective of material environmental restraints. In combination with an ideology of human population growth, the novel, instead of conveying »green values«, constitutes a literary expression of precisely the ideas and processes that led to the transition into the Anthropocene. Zusammenfassung Knut Hamsuns Roman Markens grøde ist als ein Manifest für ein einfaches und nachhaltiges Leben in Harmonie mit der Natur interpretiert worden. Vor dem Hintergrund menschengemachter Umweltveränderungen, die den Planeten in eine neue geologische Epoche, das Anthropozän, geführt haben, kann Markens grøde jedoch nicht als ökologischer Text gelten. Der Roman basiert auf einem Fortschritts- und Wachstumsnarrativ, das mögliche Grenzen und unbeabsichtigte Nebeneffekte ignoriert. In Markens grøde wird angenommen, die menschliche Natur erzeuge Begehrlichkeiten, die nur durch permanentes Wachstum von Produktion und Konsum, ungeachtet materieller und umweltbezogener Begrenzungen, erfüllt werden können. In Kombination mit einer Ideologie menschlichen Bevölkerungswachstums vermittelt der Roman daher keine »grünen Werte«, sondern liefert eine literarische Darstellung genau jener Ideen und Vorgänge, die den Übergang ins Anthropozän bewirkt haben.

  • The 7Th International Hamsun Conference Hamsun and Borders 19 – 20 September 2019 Uit – the Arctic University of Norway
    The 7th International Hamsun Conference Hamsun and Borders 19 – 20 September 2019 UiT – The Arctic University of Norway For more than four decades UiT – The Arctic University of Norway has prioritized research into the oeuvre of Knut Hamsun. We hereby invite abstracts for the 7th International Hamsun Conference, to be held at UiT, Tromsø, 19 – 20 September 2019. The conference theme is Hamsun and Borders. Knut Hamsun is an author who deals with the topic of borders both in his own life and in his writing. As a writer he moves borders by integrating “popular literature” and the dialects and experiences of northern Norway into the modernist literary canon. With hybrid texts such as On Overgrown Paths he challenges the borders between prose and poetry and between reality and fiction. In these and other works Hamsun forces us to reflect on the ever-relevant issue of the separation between authorial and biographical self in literary texts that seek to conflate the two. On a personal level Hamsun crosses geographical boundaries during a long life of moving from north to south in Norway, across borders to Germany, France and the United States, and the debate surrounding the border between the person and the author Knut Hamsun has yet to cease. This debate also relates to how Hamsun interrogates the boundaries between, for instance, Norwegian and Sámi in several of his novels, and how he addresses various forms of gender transgression in both his literary oeuvre and in his work as critic and media personality. Why are the boundaries between nature and culture so crucial throughout Hamsun’s career? And what are the limits of Hamsun’s social relevance as a “green” writer? During the centennial celebration of the publication of Growth of the Soil in 2016 it became apparent that significant challenges remain in terms of understanding and transmitting the complex legacy of Knut Hamsun.

Aspects of the Reception of Scandinavian Literature in Britain Peter Graves IT is a great honour and a great pleasure to have been invited by the Scottish Society for Northern Studies on its Fortieth Anniversary to give the Fourth Hermann Pálsson Memorial Lecture – the only thing that could have made the pleasure greater would have been to see Hermann sitting in the front row. The first time I met Hermann was, I think, in the spring of 1970 shortly after I had taken up a lectureship in Swedish in Aberdeen – one of my duties there was to teach the then still compulsory courses in Old Norse and History of the Scandinavian Languages. We heard of a saga conference being held in Edinburgh and I and a number of my students came down for it – it was held in a country house setting somewhere near Dalkeith but not, I think, Newbattle and it might, indeed, have been under the auspices of this society. I met Hermann there and what sticks in my mind from the day was a ding- dong exchange between Hermann and, I think, Peter Foote in which, in order to support some issue that now eludes me, they sliced increasingly obscure saga references back and forth across the net for what seemed like hours. That was a memory skill Hermann retained to the end: whether you were talking about modern politics, literature or personalities, there was always a saga reference to fit – and the modern example usually came off worst.

Krouk Doctor of Philosophy in Scandinavian University of California, Berkeley Professor Mark Sandberg, Chair This study examines selections from the work of three modernist writers who also supported Norwegian fascism and the Nazi occupation of Norway: Knut Hamsun (1859- 1952), winner of the 1920 Nobel Prize; Rolf Jacobsen (1907-1994), Norway’s major modernist poet; and Åsmund Sveen (1910-1963), a fascinating but forgotten expressionist figure. In literary studies, the connection between fascism and modernism is often associated with writers such as Ezra Pound or Filippo Marinetti. I look to a new national context and some less familiar figures to think through this international issue. Employing critical models from both literary and historical scholarship in modernist and fascist studies, I examine the unique and troubling intersection of aesthetics and politics presented by each figure. After establishing a conceptual framework in the first chapter, “Unsettling Modernity,” I devote a separate chapter to each author.
