Sigrid Undset

Sigrid Undset (Norwegian: Sigrid Undset, May 20, 1882 - June 10, 1949) was a Norwegian novelist and winner of the 1928 Nobel Prize for Literature. Her most famous work is a trilogy of modernist novels describing life in medieval Scandinavia - "Kristin Lavransdatter" (Kristin Lavransdatter), which is set in fourteenth-century Norwegian society and describes the life of a woman. Undset's novel "reproduces the social life of Norway in the first half of the fourteenth century and criticizes the ills of society at that time - violence and injustice. When Undset was writing this work, her writing skills were already very proficient. In addition to her family background, she had a deeper understanding of ancient social life. She wrote It feels natural and easy to read. She injects modern life into the characters dressed in fourteenth-century clothes, so there is no sense of being outside the world when reading this historical novel. You will feel that it reflects living reality, and the characters in it are as lifelike as those in modern novels." (Meng Xianzhong)
