Grieg, Nordahl (1902–1943)

Norwegian playwright, novelist, and poet. A tireless worker, his writing, like his journalism, was often sustained by social and political indignation. In Norway he is best remembered as a poet of the Resistance during World War II; from a literary point of view, his plays Vår aere og vår makt/Our Honour and our Might 1935 and Nederlaget/Defeat 1937 are more interesting.
