[Sigrid Undset's "views" on the father-son relationship. References in her writings]

Our Nobel prize winner, Sigrid Undset, is famous for her insight into female relationships and her descriptions of climate and flora. This article focuses on men's gender identity and the relationship between father and son in the Middle Ages, compared with our own times. In the light of today's psychological knowledge, it is remarkable how clearly she elaborates the characters of "her" men. We should therefore read the great authors, in addition to our professional papers.
