150 NEWS AND PROGRESS 2000 fáa serligt skap í ymsu tjóðunum, m.a. av tí at liviumstøðurnar eru ymiskar. Atrúnaðar- ligar og sosialar rørslur hava fest røtur í Føroyum á øðrvísi hátt enn aðrastaðni, tí at umstøðurnar frammanundan vóru soleiðis, at tær festa seg á henda hátt og ikki á on- kran annan hátt. Somuleiðis fáa bókmenta- ligar rørslur og rák síni serligu føroysku snið. I staðin fyri at brúka ein evropeiskan millumproportional til at máta støðuna í føroyskum bókmentum eftir, er vert at meta gongdina sjálva. Tað eru bert góð stórt hundrað ár síðani, at fólk av álvara fóru at yrkja á modernað- an hátt á føroyskum. Síðani tað hava før- oyskar bókmentir gingið gjøgnum eina til- gongd, sum byrjar við yrkingum, sum tæntu einum mentanarpolitiskum enda- máli: Tær fyrstu yrkingarnar, tær, sum vit kenna sum fosturlandsyrkingar, vóru brúksyrkingar: Tær vórðu sungnar á teim- um nýggju fólkafundunum og lærdu í mongum førum fólk fosturlandsalsk. Lær- andi innihaldið í fyrstu bókmentunum var týdningarmikið. Bábelstornið vísir, hvussu strevið fyri tjóðsskapi fer av leið, og seinni avdúka skaldsøgumar ójavnar í samfelagn- um, órættvísi og harðskap í bamauppaling- ini og átrúnaðarligan ørskap og ótollyndi. Listfrøðiligar bókmentir, skaldskapur sum burtur av vil tað listarliga, hava sítt fyrsta avgerandi umboð í J. H. O. Djur- huus, og leingi er tað yrkingin, sum dyrkar tað. Men eftir seinna heimsbardaga kemur ein annar listfrøðiligur dámur í prosuna, fyrst av øllum í skaldsøguna, men eisini í stuttsøguna. Tann listfrøðiligi dámurin vís- ir seg í teimum brotkendu søgunum um partar av lívinum hjá søgupersónunum. erature has some common characteristics, and the similarities are due to for example social, religious, philosophical and politi- cal movements which sweep over the countries. The movements disperse ideas, but they develop special form in each nation, among other things because of different conditions of life. Religious and social movements have taken root in the Faroes in a manner different from other places because the preconditions were such that they took root this way and not some other way. Likewise literary movements and currents get their specific Faroese pattem. Instead of using a European mean proportional to measure the situation in Faroese literature, it is worthwhile to evaluate the development itself. It is not more than a hundred and twenty years since people really started writing modem poetry in Faroese. Since then Faroese literature has travelled through a process beginning with poems serving a cultural- political purpose: The first poems, the ones we know as patriotic songs were applied art: They were sung at the new people’s meetings in many cases teaching people to love their country. The didactic contents of the first literature was important. Bábels- tornið by Regin í Líð shows us how the strife for nationality goes astray, and later novels reveal inequalities in society, injustices and violence in child rearing and religious fanaticism and intolerance. Aesthetic literature, poetry which aims at pure art, has its first representative in J.H.O.Djurhuus, and for a long time it is the poem cultivating this aspect. But after
