Norwegian Women's Writing 1850-1990 (Women in Context)

4.9/5 (12246 ratings)

Description:The aim of the Women in Context series is to present a country-by-country survey of women's writing from the beginnings of the struggle for emancipation to the present day. It will include not just feminist writers but women's writing in a more general sense, incorporating a study of those working independently of or even in direct opposition to the feminist aim of greater autonomy for women. While the main emphasis is on literature, the social, political and cultural development of each country provides a context for understanding the position and preoccupations of women writers. Modern cultural currents are also taken into account in relating feminist criticism to recent critical theory.Why a volume on Nowegian women writers? Norwegian literature is an area to which not even the most informed general reader has had much access. Ibsen is an internationally acclaimed dramatist (without, often, being much associated with Norway at all); Knut Hamsun is known to some; but of the women writers, none but Sigrid Undset has ever achieved noteworthy success in the English-speaking world. Like Selma Lagerlöf in Sweden, Edith Södergran in Finland, Karen Blixen in Denmark, she seems an isolated figure; yet behind each of these writers lies a rich and diverse tradition which is in many cases only now becoming available to the English readers through the medium of translation.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
