    Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson

    Bjørnstjerne Martinius Bjørnson (1832 - 1910) was a Norwegian poet,


    novelist, playwright, and lyricist. He was awarded the 1903 Nobel Prize
    in Literature: "as a tribute to his noble, magnificent and versatile
    poetry, which has always been distinguished by both the freshness of its
    inspiration and the rare purity of its spirit."

    Along with Henrik Ibsen, Jonas Lie, and Alexander Kielland, Bjørnson is
    considered one of the De Fire Store or "The Four Greats" of Norwegian
    Literature. Despite his global recognition with the Nobel Prize, Bjørnson
    remains largely unknown to English readers. We feature him in our small
    but growing collection of Scandinavian authors, which includes folktale
    author, Peter Christen Asbjornsen.
