Authorized Images Famous Authors Seen Through Antique and Vintage Postcards: Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, Franz Grillparzer
While hardly a household name in the English-speaking world, Bjørnson was-and remains-an immensely important literary figure in the Nordic world, a rival in popularity to his Norwegian compatriot Hendrik Ibsen. Grillparzer, likewise, though little known outside Europe, was widely admired in his native Austria. As a result, postcards of both writers were available in vast quantities during the Golden Age, and a healthy assortment of examples are presented throughout this book, in tandem with informative text about each author.
