In her incisive study of Hamsun, Monika Zagar refuses to separate his political and cultural ideas from his highly regarded writing. Her analysis reveals the ways in which messages of racism and sexism appear in plays, fiction, and none-too-subtle nonfiction produced by a prolific author over the course of his long career. In the process, Zagar illuminates Norways changing social relations and long history of interaction with other peoples. Extensive notes.
