<”A comparison of James Joyce’s Ulysses (1922),
Henrik Ibsen’s Peer Gynt (1867), Halldór Laxness’s
The Bell of Iceland (1943-46), and Jørgen-Frantz
Jacobsen’s Barbara (1939) shows these works’
similar positions in their respective national literary
histories as culminations of literary revivals that
prepare for independence, for Ireland in 1922, for
Norway in 1905, for Iceland in 1944, and for the
Faroes, partial independence in 1948.” Quoted from
introduction. In the chapter dealing with Jacobsen’s
novel ‘Barbara’ Joensen also deals with the history
and development of Faroese literature and its par-
ticular Dano-Faroese elements. Contents: Preface:
