Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson

Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson regnes av mange litterære eksperter for å være en av de fire store norske forfattere gjennom tidene. De andre tre forfatterne er Jonas Lie, Henrik Ibsen og Alexander Kielland. Bjørnson er spesielt kjent for å skrive teksten til Norges Nasjonalsang "Ja, vi elsker dette landet."

Født på en gård i 1832 begynte Bjørnson å skrive dikt da han var 11 år gammel, senere ble han immatrikulert til Universitetet i Oslo for å studere journalistikk og dramakritikk. Hans første roman ble utgitt i 1857 og det var bare en av mange bøker han skrev som fokuserte på livet til bøndene. Faktisk er Bjørnson like kjent for sine bondehistorier som han er for å skrive ordene til Norges nasjonalsang.

I tillegg til romaner skrev han også en rekke skuespill og brukte dem som sosiale kommentarer om politikk og andre saker som var viktige i løpet av hans tid. Ett av temaene han skrev mye om var opprettelsen av et nasjonalt språk for sitt hjemland. Mesteparten av litteraturen før hans tid hadde blitt skrevet på dansk-norsk, selv om Bjørnson eksperimenterte kort med skriving på nynorsk. Senere angret han beslutningen å stanse arbeidet sitt med nynorsken som han følte var en viktig del i utviklingen av Norges nasjonale identitet fordi det ble fjernet ytterligere fra dansk.

Bjørnson var også en av de opprinnelige medlemmene i Nobelkomiteen fra Norge, som er kjent verden rundt for tildelingen av Nobels fredspris hvert år. Bjørnson selv vant Nobelprisen i litteratur i 1903.

Bjornstjerne Bjornson

Many literary experts consider Bjornstjerne Bjornson to be one of the Four Greats, or the four greatest Norwegian writers of all time. The other three writers are Jonas Lie, Henrik Ibsen, and Alexander Kielland. Bjornson is especially known for writing the lyrics to the national anthem of Norway, "Yes, We Love this Country."

Born on a farm in 1832, Bjornson started writing poetry when he was eleven years old, then matriculated to University of Oslo to study journalism and drama criticism. His first novel was published in 1857, and it was the first of many books he would write that focused on the lives of peasants. In fact, Bjornson is known for his so-called peasant tales almost as much as he is for writing the words to Norway’s national anthem.

In addition to novels, he also wrote a number of plays, using them as social commentary on politics and other issues that were important during his time. One of the subjects he wrote extensively about was the creation of a national language for his native country. Most literature before his time had been written in Dano-Norwegan, although Bjornson did experiment briefly with writing in what was referred to as the New Norwegian language. Later, Bjornson regretted his decision to stop his work with New Norwegian, which he felt was an important part of the development of Norway’s national identity because it was further removed from Danish.

Bjornson was also one of the original members of Norway’s Nobel Committee, which is known around the world for awarding the Nobel Peace Prize every year. Bjornson himself won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1903.
