Bjornstjerne Bjornson is a biographical book written by William Morton Payne that explores the life and works of the Norwegian writer and Nobel laureate, Bjornstjerne Bjornson. The book covers Bjornson's early life, his education, and his rise to prominence as a writer, playwright, and political activist. It also delves into his personal life, including his relationships, family, and political beliefs. The book includes a detailed analysis of Bjornson's major works, including his plays, novels, and poetry, and examines the themes and ideas that he explored throughout his career. Payne provides a comprehensive and engaging portrait of Bjornson, shedding light on his contributions to Norwegian literature and his impact on the cultural and political landscape of his time. This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in Scandinavian literature, culture, and history.It will be well, however, to make certain distinctions between the life work of Bjornson and that of the two men whom a common age and common aims bring into inevitable association with him. These distinctions are chiefly two, --one of them is that while Tolstoy and Ibsen grew to be largely cosmopolitan in their outlook, Bjornson has much more closely maintained throughout his career the national, or, at any rate, the racial standpoint.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
