43. Biography Of Sigrid Undset
    I noticed this in connection with my biography of sigrid undset, publishedin 1989. sigrid undset in the 1990s By JANNEKEN ØVERLAND.  
    http://www.mnc.net/norway/SigUnd.htm
    
    Extractions: Both these novels about the Middle Ages, in particular "Kristin Lavransdatter", became international best-sellers at the time. According to Alfred Nobel's will, the Literature Prize is to be awarded to the author who has written "the most outstanding work of an idealistic tendency", and so Undset's books fell within this somewhat elastic category. But it was Sigrid Undset's talent as a great story-teller rather than the idealistic tendency which fascinated her readers all over the world. Her books had been translated into the most important foreign languages even before she received the Nobel Prize. After 1928, they were published in virtually every major language. Now, after a lapse of 70 years, her books are still being read worldwide, by new generations of readers. Outside Norway, her reputation has been mostly confined to "Kristin Lavransdatter." Not so in Norway. I noticed this in connection with my biography of Sigrid Undset, published in 1989. I have received letters from women and men, old and young, from every part of Norway, showing that she is being read, by an increasing number of people in this age of television. Undset's books are being read, and not only the novels about the Middle Ages. She wrote 36 books, the mediaeval novels being one part. Another part are her contemporary novels of Kristiania (now Oslo) and Oslo between the turn of the century and the 1930s, the third part being literary essays and historical articles. Her authorship is wide-ranging and of considerable substance. And, quite obviously, a new generation of readers in Norway has discovered this.

    http://dannyreviews.com/h/Kristin_Lavransdatter.html
    
    Extractions: Alfred Knopf 1930 A book review by Danny Yee Perhaps as a result of the austere binding on the library copy, I approached Kristin Lavransdatter , a thousand page historical novel set in 14th century Norway, with some wariness. And it is certainly not light reading, with its share of illness and plague, sudden and unexpected episodes of violence, death, and other human tragedies. Like the Icelandic family sagas which inspired Undset, however, Kristin Lavransdatter offers an ultimately positive view of human existence. Kristin Lavransdatter tells the story of one woman from childhood to death, through betrothal and an illicit affair, marriage and marital discord, and childbirth and motherhood. There is too much in it to grasp in a single reading, let alone summarise in a brief review. Among other things it encompasses the complexities of kinship ties and family relationships, the pitfalls of reputation and status in tightly knit rural communities (and briefly of the high politics of Sweden and Norway), and the variety of religious beliefs and practices. Undset handles the changes in pacing needed in a novel covering half a century, convincingly connecting events and depicting changes over a lifetime. Kristin Lavransdatter is a powerful and moving treatment of universal themes. It is also a compelling portrait of a unique individual in her historical and social context - that is, it succeeds as a historical novel, in the depiction of a world that can stand by itself and is not parasitic on the present.

    Extractions: Sigrid Undset ble født i Kalundborg i Danmark. Faren var en kjent norsk arkeolog, Ingvald Undset. Moren Anna Maria Charlotte Gyth var dansk. Familien flyttet til Norge i 1884 og bosatte seg i Kristiania. Hennes søstre Ragnhild og Signe ble født der. Sigrid var et begavet barn, og da faren ble alvorlig syk, tilbragte hun mye tid hjemme og leste høyt for faren. Hun ble kjent med norrøn litteratur, vikingetiden og middelalderen. Da Sigrid var elleve år, døde faren. Moren tilbød Sigrid videre skolegang, men Sigrid visste at moren hadde dårlig råd etter hun ble enke, og tok derfor handelsskolen og fikk seg kontorjobb som 17-åring. Hun var kontordame i 10 år .Hun kjedet seg i jobben, og fritiden ble brukt i ensomhet. Hun utforsket Kristianias arbeiderstrøk og opplevde kontrasten til de deler hun hadde vokst opp i. I kontakt med naturen følte hun glede over livet. Hun skrev ved siden av kontorjobben , og tre år etter debutromanen Fru Marta Oulie kom ut i 1907, kunne hun endelig bli forfatter på heltid. Hun fikk stipend og reiste til Italia. I Roma levde hun i kunstnermiljø, og

    Extractions: Undset, Sigrid 1882-1949, Norwegian novelist. Poverty forced Undset to do secretarial work for a time (1898-1908). Her early novels of seamy contemporary life, among them Jenny (1911, tr. 1921), were frank and realistic works in which she upheld traditional institutions. Her writing, always strongly ethical, deepened in religious intensity after her conversion (1924) to Roman Catholicism. Undset is most famous for her historical novels dealing with human problems of continuing significance. Kristin Lavransdatter (3 vol., 1920-22; tr. 1923-27), considered her masterpiece, tells of love and religion in medieval Norway. It was followed by the excessively detailed and more explicitly religious Olav Audunsson (4 vol., 1925-27; tr. The Master of Hestviken, 4 vol., 1928-30). Her later works include tales of contemporary family life, among them Ida Elisabeth (1932, tr. 1933), The Faithful Wife (1936, tr. 1937), and Madame Dorthea (1939, tr. 1940), and the autobiographical

    undset, sigrid (18821949). My father's family came fromOsterdalen. Since1919, I have lived in Lillehammer. Biographical note on sigrid undset.  
    http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/U/Undset/Undset.
    
    Extractions: Undset, Sigrid My father's family came fromOsterdalen. The first ancestor of ours of whom anything at all was known was one Peder Halvorsen who, in 1730, lived in Grytdalen in the Sollien valley of the river Atna where some men from Osterdalen had been allowed to settle and farm the land. My father's folk remained there until my grandfather, Halvor Halvorsen, came to Trondhjem as a non-commissioned officer and became warden of a workhouse. He took the name of Undset from a hamlet in which my grandmother had lived when she became a widow. My mother had no choice but to send me to a commercial school in Christiania. I did not like it there but it had one great advantage over my old school; no one there expected me to like anything! Later on, I went to work in an office and learned among other lessons to do things I did not care for, and to do them well. I remained there for ten years - from the age of 17 until I was 27. Before I left this office, two of my books had already been published - Fru Marte Oulie in 1907, and Den lykkelige alder (The Happy Age) in 1908. After leaving the office job, I went to Germany and Italy on a scholarship. I have published a number of books since, my last two novels being set in the Middle Ages. They are Kristin Lavransdatter, which appeared in three volumes (192O-1922): Kransen (The Garland), Husfrue (The Mistress of Husaby), Korset (The Cross); and Olav Audunsson i Hestviken (1925 ) [The Master of Hestviken] and its sequel Olav Audunssen og hans born (1927) [Olav Audunsson and his Children].
