Changing Scenes
Six articles in Changing scenes represent the ongoing reassessment of fin de siècle literature in Finnish research. The period was seen in earlier research as something of a national renaissance or golden age and interpreted in the light of its national symbols and meanings. Only recently has more attention been paid to its international dimensions and its role in the modernisation of Finnish culture. In particular the spotlight has been trained on the reflection in Finnish literature of manifestations of the degeneration thinking so common in Europe at that time. Research has also picked out works and writers that featured less in earlier studies. One modernist Finnish poet, Neustadt Prize-winning Paavo Haavikko, is also examined in an article representing the latest Finnish research in this field.
A History of Finland's Literature
The literature of Finland is bilingual, with lively and extensive traditions in both Finnish and Swedish. This history covers both literary traditions in detail. The volume?s first section, on Finnish-language literature, consists of a series of connected chapters by leading authorities within the field. It opens with a consideration of the folk literature in Finnish that flourished during the Middle Ages and then examines the more recent history of Finnish-language literature, with special emphasis placed on writings from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The second part of the book provides an examination of Finland?s Swedish-language literature from the late fifteenth century through the early nineteenth century. Subsequent chapters trace developments in Finland?s Swedish-language literature during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. A survey of children?s literature?from both the Finnish- and Swedish-language traditions?concludes this exceptionally thorough volume.

A Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries 1900-1925
A Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries 1900-1925 is the first publication to deal with the avant-garde in the Nordic countries at the start of the twentieth century. The essays cover a wide range of avant-garde manifestations in arts and culture: literature, the visual arts, painting as well as photography, architecture and design, film, radio, and performing arts like music, theatre and dance. It is the first major historical work to consider the Nordic avant-garde in a transnational perspective which includes all the arts and to discuss the role of the avant-garde not only within the aesthetic field, but in a broader cultural context. It examines the social and cultu...

'Mijn Vak Werd Mijn Leven'
Dutch description: Van Marken was de eerste hoogleraar Scandinavistiek aan de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. Ze was een charismatische en inspirerende leermeester. Ze leidde enkele generaties scandinavisten op en bracht de Groningse Scandinavistiek tot bloei. Als wetenschapper bestreek ze vele terreinen binnen haar vakgebied en bereikte ze een breed publiek. Ze publiceerde in uiteenlopende media, van vooraanstaande internationale wetenschappelijke tijdschriften tot landelijke dagbladen. Ze promoveerde aan de Universiteit van Gent op Knut Hamsun en de vrouwenfiguren in zijn werk (1970) en zorgde er voor dat zijn romans in de jaren zeventig opnieuw in Nederlandse vertaling beschikbaar kwamen. Naast haar werk voor de wetenschap, was ze actief als vertaler van poëzie, drama en non-fictie. Ook in Scandinavië was Van Marken een bekende cultuurpersoonlijkheid. Van 1970 tot 1982 had ze zitting in het presidium van de International Association of Scandinavian Studies. Een portret van een dynamische wetenschapper.
