there Is a connection between
the lyrical and rhetorical trend
in Swedish literature and the
Anemic complexion of Swedish
novels.
In Denmark
~N DENMARK during the
occupation a few plays and
novels appeared only to be
suppressed by the censor
ship as soon as they were out
and already widely distributed.
This happened to Kai Munk's
play, 'Niels Ebbeson" and Kel-
vim Lindemanns novel, "A Cradle
Of Free Men" Mr.. Lindemann
gave his royalties to the under
ground and had to fee into
Sweden. The novel, another of
these works where a contempo-
rary topic has been disguised as
history, now of course has been
reprinted, and SO have some of
the translations OF anti-Nazi
books which the Danish under
ground secretly made and dis
tributed in stenciled copies.
Nevertheless, Danish authors en-
joyed some freedom. Poems out
spokenly patriotic could appear
and were cherished by the whole
nation. The promises of the
visitors" of blssful future for
Denmark impressed very few
Danish authors. These few now
are paying the penalty for their
sins.
Kai Munk, the playwright
parson, had professed his SYM
pathy for dictatorship when Hit
Ter entered the stage. He was
cured definitely when the per
secution of Jews in 1888 revolted
the Nordic nations. During the
occupation he boldly fought for
his faith and his mother country,
and the Germans, feeling very
uncomfortable about this stormy
petrol of parson, most brutally
and unwisely had him assassi-
mated. The Gestapo did to Kai
Munk what his writings never
could have done, making his
name one Of lasting fame and a
rallying point of Danish will to
resist the new paganism and the
Germans. Since the peace a lit
erature about Kai Munk has
grown up which already in VOL
ume surpasses his onw consider
able output.
Books about the experience of
individuals or groups, or about
the consequences of the occupa-
tion to aides of the national life,
are telling what the Danes had
to keep silent about for five long
years. AS almost everywhere
else the interest in this kind of
literature may be tagging, and
as to the works putting forth
proposals or debate about the
problems of the near or remote
future, they seem to suffer the
usual fate of such writing-they
are mostly read by those who al
ready belong to the authors own

Nordic countries un-

ferent conditions. OF
course, this has also affected the
postwar situation profoundly.
In Sweden
If the Swedish censorship
supervising the neutrality of the
press-not always equally severe
ly-also meddled with the pub
fishing business, at least it was
kept quiet or applied with some
iberality. It did not prevent the
publication of Wilhelm Moberg's
novel Ride This Night" Ctrans-
lated in America, warning
against giving in to injustice,
slightly disguised as historical
romance, or of Eyvind Johnson's
tale of "Krilon," an imaginative
attempt to tell, in terms of a
conspiracy against the independ-
eice of the small people of
Sweden by ruthless and rather
mysterious concern, contempo-
rary history about the battle be-
tween individual liberty and
dignity and totalitarianism. Even
books about the war in Norway
and some books by Norwegian
refugees appeared. So in Sweden
literary life after the peace went
along very much on the old
lines.
"Libraries"-of a type like
Everyman's Library or the Mod
ern Library-have a long and
honorable history in Sweden.
Since way back, university
circles, the powerful Labor Party
and groups on more or less
businesslike basis have edited
series of books on popular
science, social questions and
editions of the classics as well
as series of best novels"-Selec-
tions from world literature.
Neither the war nor the peace
interrupted this work of public
education. The Swedes were
always alert to keep in touch
with literary events abroad and
to translate important novelties,
from best sellers to outstanding
works of scholarship and science.
Important American books us
ually soon appeared in Swedish.
After the peace also French
literature, also books published
secretly by the underground, are
again being translated.
Big books on history, natural
science and biography are prob
ably read-and bought-more
widely in Sweden than anywhere
else. Fat or slender volumes of
poetry too-the great and glori-
Gus tradition of Swedish verse
has, for generations been the
pride and delight of the people.
A number of young poets, some
of whom seem talented, promise
that this tradition will be carried
on.
AS usual, also, a number of
novels appeared last year, none
of which, however, seem very
important. Culture, taste and
a vivid awareness of social and
