NOVELISTS
OLD LETTERS FOUND
Proof Sheets of Biornson's
Works Unearthed at Bergen

An interesting find has been made at
Bergen in the city archives. 1t con-

ters addressed by the great Nor
wegian writer Bjornson to Nine. Gerl-
muyden, who published 'Arne.' the
peasant story, the noyelists second
great work, in 1858.
1t seems that Bjornson wished to
change his publisher, but the lady was
tenacious of her rights, says the London
Globe A quarrel ensued and the cor
respondence found its way into the
scandinavian press of the day. Be
sides letters the packet contains proof
sheets of "Arne," with the authors
corrections The author of En- Glad
Glut' had dedicated "Arne'' to Ole Bull,
the violinist, whose weird .Gn the lit

one who has visited Bergen.
Upon one of the corrected proofs
Bjornson had addressed a poem TO Ole
Bull, but for some reason it was not
published with the book.
