Wergeland, and by Welhaven’s biographer, Arne Løchen. A flexible
prose has been the weapon with which the editors, Christian
Friele (died 1899), Erik Vullum and O. Thommessen have
attracted attention in the arena of politics. The painter Christian
Krohg has also won a name among contemporary prose writers
as a piquant writer of society articles. The young art historians,
Andreas Aubert and Jens Thiis, and the literary critics, Chr.
Collin, Just Bing, Gerhard Gran, Hjalmar Christensen,
Sigurd Bødtker, Carl Nærup and Nils Kjær, naturally demand
a wholly artistic form.
Among the scientific men whose prose reveals a marked feeling
for a pure and correct handling of language, we may finally
mention Fridtjof Nansen, whose accounts of the two famous
polar expeditions have justly become favourite books with all classes.
