QR code
"Hamsun / Flaubert: Zwei Reden" by Kasimir Edschmid is a critical literary analysis written in the early 20th century. The work consists of two lectures focusing on the significance of Knut Hamsun and Gustave Flaubert within the context of European literature. Edschmid delves into the styles, themes, and impacts of both authors, positioning them as key figures in the literary tradition and discussing their contributions among their contemporaries. The opening of this
work introduces Hamsun's place in literature, establishing him alongside great writers like Tolstoy, Strindberg, and Flaubert. Edschmid describes the significance of Hamsun's work, particularly its reflection of the human condition and the duality of the Nordic spirit. He discusses the importance of recognizing Hamsun not just as a regional writer, but as a representative of broader literary currents and struggles in Europe. The text highlights Hamsun's unique contribution to the narrative of European literature and sets the stage for a comparative examination with Flaubert in the subsequent analysis.
