  Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1920, Knut Hamsun was a towering figure of Norwegian letters. This title includes a study of Hamsun where it refuses to separate his political and cultural ideas from an analysis of his highly regarded writing. It demonstrates that Hamsun did not arrive at his notions of race and gender late in life.
