Scandinavica Spring 2009: Vol. 48 No. 1
To commemorate the centenary of Ibsen's death, a selection of the finest articles published in Scandinavica on the subject of Ibsen's work is being published by Norvik Press under the title Turning the Century.
Jens Bjørneboe's Moment of Freedom (1966), Powderhouse (1969) and The Silence (1974) marked the high point of a controversial literary career. Since the early 1950s this Norwegian iconoclast had been making life difficult for the establishment, attacking its repressive schools, inhumane prisons, corrupt police and power-hungry politicians. Now Bjørneboe turned his attention to a more general problem: the evil inherent in the human race itself. Why, his narrators ask despairingly, does man behave so inhumanely to his fellow creatures?
