Class Description
This course explores short narrative forms in Scandinavia from the 19th century to the present day. Through our study of short stories, we will trace the historical development of key narrative techniques and thematic concerns, while also comparing the different national traditions.

Some authors included will be HC Andersen, Selma Lagerlöf, Halldór Laxness, and Cora Sandel.
