Empowering Transformations
Norwegian author Alf Prøysen’s feisty little old Mrs Pepperpot appeared for the first time in print in 1955. Translated into well over twenty languages, the now classic Mrs Pepperpot stories have, so far, received surprisingly little critical attention. Empowering Transformations: Mrs Pepperpot Revisited fills that long over-due gap by providing a range of essays written by experts in the field. The volume explores Prøysen’s heroine in dialogue with recent theorising in order to broaden and deepen the understanding of her enduring popularity. The study introduces Prøysen’s works and career to an international readership, but also delves deeper into the Mrs Pepperpot phenomenon. Her ...

True North
True North: Literary Translation in the Nordic Countries is the first book to focus solely on literary translation from, to, and between the Nordic tongues. The book is divided into three main sections.

Topics examined include particular translatorial challenges; translating for specific audiences o...
Growing Sideways in Twenty-first Century British Culture
This volume examines changing boundaries between childhood and adulthood in British society and culture at the beginning of the twenty-first century − where these age boundaries are widely debated, policed, and contested − to investigate alternatives to conventional ideas of growing up. Building on observations, especially in children’s literature criticism, that human growth is shaped by a grand narrative that privileges adulthood, and on terminologies of non-normative growth, particularly in queer theory, this monograph develops growing sideways as a concept that queers this grand narrative by destabilising childhood and adulthood, and the boundaries between them. The concept is refined through close readings of twenty-first century British children’s literature, television series, film, and participatory events, troubling age boundaries via specific strategies in three conceptual areas: appearance, play, and space. Exploring power structures around age and gender, this monograph traces growing sideways as a distinct and important alternative discourse of human growth.
Norwegian Perspectives on Education and Cultural Diversity
This collection of articles utilises thematic orientations, methodological approaches and data materials to give an insight into the opportunities and challenges that exist for education in society, in relation to the growing cultural and linguistic complexity that exists. It is written by researchers at Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences, in Norway, and while the book is anchored in a specific Norwegian educational, cultural and political context, it addresses issues that would be of interest to an international academic audience.
På tværs af Norden: Nye tendenser i børne- og ungdomslitteratur med nedslag i forskning og formidling
Denne antologi giver et indblik i nye tendenser i børne- og ungdomslitteratur med nedslag i nordisk forskning og formidling. Den leverer også bud på, hvordan børne- og ungdomslitteraturens forskning og formidling etableredes, og hvordan den lever på tværs af Norden. Antologiens essays omhandler det børnelitterære kredsløb i Norden, sætter spørgsmålstegn ved, om den nordiske billedbog har en alder, freestyler med nordisk rapsodi og sætter kvalitetsbegrebet under lup. Bidrag i antologien er på dansk, norsk og svensk.
Verdens bedste bestsellers
Perversiteter med Sukkertang og adelig Dame-Te. Berlingske Tidende lagde ikke fingrene imellem, da avisen i 1935 anmeldte Karen Blixens best-seller Syv fantastiske fortAellinger. Blixens vAerk voksede sig imidlertid stort og blev en klassiker, mens andre samtidige kanoniserede vAerker rog ud i glemslen. Bestselleren har ry for at vAere litteraturens fastfood, alt for flygtig og uden den nAering, der kendetegner klassikeren og mestervAerket. Men det blakkede ry er ikke hele historien. Den meget populAere roman kan vende op og ned ikke bare pa de gAengse opfattelser af kvalitet og forgAengelighed, men ogsa pa forstaelsen af identitet og klassetilhorsforhold.Verdens bedste bestsellers handler om litteratur, der udfordrer tidens tankesAet og folelsesverdener. LAes om den poetiske Werther, den tragiske Emma Bovary, de heltemodige hobbitter Frodo og Sam og syv andre fortAellinger, der fra arene omkring den franske revolution til nu har delt vandene og samlet lAeserne over det meste af den vestlige verden.

The Hestenes Saga, 1580-1988
Mons Elias Mattiasson Hestenes (1867-1912) was the twin brother of Ingebrigt and the son of Mattias Hestenes and Anne Marie Eikenes of Hestenesoyra, Gloppen parish, Sogn and Fjordane Co., Nordfjord, Norway. In 1888, Mons emigrated from Norway to America and was met by Rasmus Didrikson Hestenes who had emigrated in 1871 and was living in Seely Twp., Faribault Co., Minn. He lived and worked with Rasmus until 1894, when he returned to Norway. Later in 1894, he returned to Minnesota and married Rasmus' only daughter, Anna Rodina Didrikson in 1895. They were the parents of seven children: Amanda Maria, Rhoda Mathilda, Marie Cornella, Magnus Rudolph, Ellen Adina, Arnold Didrik and a still born baby girl. The family lineages are traced in Norway to 1580. Descendants are traced to 1988.
