The course covers Norwegian and Scandinavian literature from 1870 to World War II. The study of literary texts will be closely related to the study of secondary literature in literary history and literary theory. The methods component is not only intended as a tool, but will also enable students to see how an individual textual analysis or other research is directly related to a particular theoretical method and perhaps also to a value judgement.
