INTRODUCTION
BY DAGNE GROVEN MYHREN
"This timeless poetry has relevance and an important
message, not least in our own time."—Michael Melchior,
former Deputy Foreign Minister of Israel, Chief Rabbi of Norway
"Wergeland's life and works were dedicated to the concepts
of love and freedom. He never tired of helping those who were
suffering and oppressed. This English translation of Wergeland's
poems on the plight of the Jews will make his struggle known
to a broader readership and give the rest of the world access
to some of the greatest poems in Norwegian and Scandinavian literature."—Vigdis
Ystad, professor of Scandinavian literature, University of Oslo
Henrik Wergeland (1808–1845) was one of the main
figures in Scandinavian Romanticism and ranks as one of Norway's
greatest poets.
