The Western Home

This sweeping overview of Norwegian-American literature         goes beyond fiction, poetry, and drama to probe letters, travel accounts,         informational emigration aids, and newspapers. The author brings to his         work extensive knowledge of the American cultural setting. His clear,         jargon-free writing style will be welcomed by scholars and layreaders         alike, as he gives the impression of examining literature almost from         within, rather than from the vantage point of a literary critic.
