A Country without Culture: Johannes V. Jensen's and Knut Hamsun's Dispute over America

Original language description

Hamsunʾs contribution to portraying America can be termed literary Antiamericanism, Johannes V. Jensenʾs essays and his novel Hjulet, on the contrary, are examples of literary Americanism of a utopian character. Nevertheless, they both use America to express their opinion on Europe and the changes taking place in European literature. We must not forget that Johannes V. Jensenʾs image of the rapidly growing city is less an attempt to give a realistic description of modern America, much rather it is a keynote speech aimed at the old continent, or more precisely at Johannes V. Jensenʾs homeland: Denmark. Hamsunʾs contribution to portraying America can be termed literary Antiamericanism, Johannes V.
