Wikipedia: Henrik Arnold Thaulow Wergeland (June 17, 1808 in Kristiansand – July 12, 1845 in Christiania) (now known as Oslo) was a Norwegian writer, most celebrated for his poetry but also a prolific playwright, polemicist, historian, and linguist. He is often described as a leading pioneer in the development of a distinctly Norwegian literary heritage and indeed of modern Norwegian culture. Though Wergeland lived only to 37 years old, his range of pursuits covered literature, theology, history, contemporary politics, social issues, and science.
