Focusing on the works of Nobel Prize-winning novelist Knut Hamsun and modernist poets Asmund Sveen and Rolf Jacobsen, all of whom collaborated with the Nazi regime during the occupation of Norway in World War II, and those of the anti-fascist novelist and critic Sigurd Hoel, Dean Krouk reveals key aspects of the modernist literary imagination in Norway. In their writings, Hamsun, Sveen, and Jacobsen expressed their discontent with twentieth-century European modernity, which they perceived as overly rationalized or nihilistic. Krouk explains how fascism offered these writers a seductive utopian vision that intersected with the countercultural and avant-garde aspects of their literary works, while Hoel's critical analysis of Nazism extended to a questioning of all patriarchal forms of authority. Krouk's readings of their works serve as a timely reminder to us all of the dangers of fascism. 410 0$aNew directions in Scandinavian studies. 606 $aNorwegian literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01039449 606 $aModernism (Literature)$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01024455 606 $aFascism and literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00921577 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zNorway 606 $aFascism and literature$zNorway 606 $aNorwegian literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 607 $aNorway$2fast 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 615 7$aNorwegian literature. 615 7$aModernism (Literature) 615 7$aFascism and literature. 615 7$aModernism (Literature) 615 7$aFascism and literature 615 7$aNorwegian literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a839.820911 700 $aKrouk$b Dean$01847731 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911026073703321 996 $aFascism and Modernist Literature in Norway$94433718 997 $aUNINA
