Mary, Vol.XIII

Autorentext

Norwegian author, poet, and politician Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson is renowned for having had a profound influence on both national identity and Norwegian literature. His literary career started with poetry, and he gained fame with his book "Digte og Sange" in 1870. He was born on December 8, 1832, in Kvikne, Norway. Using his writings to support cultural identity and independence, Bjørnson actively participated in the 19th-century Norwegian nationalist movement. He was an important figure in determining the political climate of Norway as a member of the parliament. Though Bjørnson has written other novels, such as "Arne" and "The Fisher Maiden," his plays, especially "Peer Gynt," are still considered classics in literature worldwide. These are possibly his most well-known works. His dedication to social justice and faith in the ability of literature to effect change were frequently reflected in his writing. Apart from his writing endeavors, Bjørnson was a political activist who supported Norway's separation from Sweden. His attempts to foster a sense of national identity and consciousness brought him the 1903 Nobel Prize in Literature. In addition to being a literary giant, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson was a fervent supporter of social and political concerns in Norway, and he left an enduring legacy throughout his life.
