Authorship, Activism and Celebrity
Since long before the age of celebrity activism, literary authors have used their public profiles and cultural capital to draw attention to a wide range of socio-political concerns. This book is the first to explore – through history, criticism and creative interventions – the relationship between authorship, political activism and celebrity culture across historical periods, cultures, literatures and media.

Tilværelsens udlænding
Dette er tredje og siste bind i Lars Frode Larsens verk om en av Norges største forfattere gjennom tidene. Dette bindet tar for seg perioden 1891-1893, og som i de to første bindene presenterer han mange nye og overraskende opplysninger om Hamsun i begynnelsen av hans enestående karriere. Sentralt i dette bindet er foredragsturneen der han tok for seg samtidens dikterstørrelser på en måte som vakte oppsikt og skaffet ham ry som en glimrende taler. Man får også følge forfatteren gjennom arbeidet med romanen "Mysterier". Boken kan leses uavhengig av de to andre bindene. Forhåndsomtale.

Knut Hamsun, Novelist
This is the first comprehensive study in English of the novels of Knut Hamsun, Nobel Laureate in literature for 1920, from the radically innovative Hunger (1890) to The Ring Is Closed (1936). The texts are discussed in depth, with analysis of recurrent themes, narrative modes, and generic idiosyncrasies, and are evaluated in terms of originality and artistic integrity. Reviews and other critical opinions are cited to broaden the evaluative spectrum and throw light on the novels' receptions. Although the book is scholarly, its blend of commentary and summarizing description - of settings, characters and story lines - will also interest the general reader.
