Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Norwegian Life and Literature: English Accounts and Views, Especially in the 19th Century The purpose of this inquiry has been to trace the development in England of an interest in Norwegian matters down to the end of last century. This interest had two aspects, one bearing on the country and its population, and another dealing with its literature, literature here meant in the sense of belles-lettres, poetry, and drama. Scientific literature, being of a more international character, has found no place in the account. Thus English references to Norwegian historians, to men like P. A. Munch and Sophus Bugge, cannot, I take it, be considered a sign of a general English familiarity with Norwegian culture, as they are only to be met with in cases where English writers have been concerned with the same subjects as the Norwegian authors. This also applies to other branches of science. With regard to English accounts of Norwegian life, I have tried to deal as fully with them as I have judged to be necessary for the purpose in hand, paying special attention to the views expressed on the national character. For that end I have inserted a short chapter dealing with the political situation in 1814. The curious contrast between the views adopted by the British Government and the general sentiments of the English people at that time has seemed to me to be of a particular interest as illustrating English views of the Norwegian people at the beginning of the nineteenth century. In dealing with the literary part of the subject, I have been chiefly concerned with the accounts given of modern Norwegian literature, this being a matter not previously handled.
