A Norwegian poet; born in Modum, July 5, 1794 died at Kongsberg, March 16, 1842. His models in fiction seem to have been Fouque and Tieck. As a poet he is best represented by the volume of "Norse Idylls". His style is limpid, and shows the influence of German studies. He also wrote school grammars, and manuals of literature, that have been widely used in Norway.
