| Summary |
"Norwegian Life" by Ethlyn T. Clough is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The book provides an overview of both past and contemporary conditions and developments in Norway and Sweden, celebrating their rich cultural heritage and distinct national identities. Clough aims to shed light on lesser-known aspects of Norwegian life, encompassing diverse topics such as literature, customs, and socioeconomic progress. The opening of "Norwegian Life" introduces readers to the geographical and historical context of Norway and Sweden, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of their development over the ages. It describes the Scandinavian Peninsula's landscape, its early inhabitants, and the evolution of its societies. In particular, the text highlights the original peasant class, the establishment of governance structures like the "Thing," and the Viking Age's significance. Clough gestures towards a wealth of cultural and historical narratives embedded within these lands, aimed at providing readers with a coherent understanding of the rich tapestry that is Norwegian life.
