Sigrid Undset - Nobel Prize in Literature, 1928 (8 books) (Size: 17.15 MB)
Description SIGRID UNDSET (1882-1949) was a Norwegian novelist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1928. Undset's work is much admired for its historical and ethnological accuracy. Her best-known work is KRISTIN LAVRANSDATTER (1920-22), a thee-volume historical epic about life in Scandinavia in the Middle Ages, portrayed through the experiences of a woman from birth until death. A four-volume work, THE MASTER OF HESTVIKEN (1925-27), dealing with similar themes soon followed. These works formed the basis of Undset's receipt of the Nobel Prize, which was awarded "principally for her powerful descriptions of Northern life during the Middle Ages." THE UNKNOWN SIGRID UNDSET is an anthology of early existentialist work which includes two short stories ("Simonsen" and "Tjodolf") depicting the lives of people living in Christiana, now Oslo, in 1900; a novel, JENNY (1911), which tells the story of a disenchanted painter; and an assortment of letters written between 1900 and 1922, all of which provide a window into Undset's views on women's sexuality, the relationship between motherhood and art, and the complex dynamic between women and men.
