Historical Dictionary of Scandinavian Literature and Theater
The literature of Scandinavia is amazingly rich and varied, consisting of the works produced by the countries of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland, and stretching from the ancient Norse Sagas to the present day. While much of it is unknown outside of the region, some has gained worldwide popularity, including the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen, the stories of Isak Dinesen, and the plays of Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg.
Broad in both geographical and temporal scope, this volume's definition of acting includes all forms of public performance rather than the more accepted definition of interpreting written text before an audience. Osnes, a theatrical scholar and practitioner, has gathered a wealth of information from a wide variety of sources.
