The article focuses on two books, "Arnljot Gelline," by Bjórnstjerne Björnson and "Marie Grubble," by Jens Peter Jacobsen. The two most recent volumes of the Scandinavian Classics are wisely chosen and excellently translated. Both are works of characteristic Scandinavian genius and both of a sort to delight the general reader as much as the student of literature. Björnson, seen through the perspective of history, seems above all a romantic force. He towers more and more above any one of his works or even all of them together. He always was the man that he wished his countrymen to be. He was the most adequate of his artistic creations.
