Author Sigrid Undset interweaves political, social, and religious history with the daily aspects of family life to create a colorful, richly detailed tapestry of Norway during the fourteenth-century. The trilogy, however, is more than a journey into the past. Undset's own life—her familiarity with Norse sagas and folklore and with a wide range of medieval literature; her experiences as a daughter, wife, and mother; and her deep religious faith—profoundly influenced her writing. Her grasp of the connections between past and present and of human nature itself, combined with the extraordinary quality of her writing, sets her works far above the genre of historical novels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSupplies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegistrants should secure their own copy of the book (available for purchase soon through the Vesterheim Museum Store) and have read it prior to the discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAdditional Supplies\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudents will need to provide a computer, laptop, or tablet with a camera and mic as well as a fast, reliable internet connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecial Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen registering for the class, please make sure to use the mailing and email addresses you'd like the Zoom meeting invitations sent to.
