stood in stark contrast to the
land of freedom.
" Nineteenth century Norway
was a society with great
class divisions and differences
between poor and wealthy, "
says Øverland. " The letters
came from a different kind of
society where common people
elected their local offi cers and
church members appointed
their pastors. "
Those who opposed
Norway's class system, regimented
religion and limited
suffrage often pointed to
fi rst-hand accounts of the
American way to make their
case for a freer Norway.
" Opposition newspapers
printed letters from Norwegian
emigrants, not just those
that told about cows and
wheat, but especially those
that spoke of American conditions
in general, " writes Semmingsen.
" The newspapers
commented on the letters by
making comparisons which,
as a rule, were not favorable
to conditions in Norway. "
Alexander Kielland's 1884
novel " Fortuna " outlines
how the growing desire for
change-particularly among
the working class-was
spurred on by America letters.
