Novels, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Novels, Vol. 1
The didactic character of much of the novel, especially of the later parts, was a surprise to contemporary readers, who were accustomed to much lighter fare from the novelists of the day. No less a personage than the great Danish writer, J. P. Jacobsen, joined in the outcry against all this pedagogy and all these problems. Physio logical instruction in girls' schools, - this seemed a strange and almost unseemly subject for a romance addressed to idle readers in Copen hagen and Christiania. But Bjornson's serious purpose was soon perceived and justified, and the popularity of The Heritage of the Karts was assured among the best appreciators of his genius. It will always, however, possess the disadvan tages inherent on a tentative efifort in a class of literature as yet unfamiliar to the veteran artist.
