Abstract
Abstract For many years after 1945, Scandinavian writers were preoccupied with the subject of the Second World War and its repercussions: with the Finnish winter war against Russia, the German occupation of Norway and Denmark, and the compromised neutrality of Sweden. The late 1940s and 1950s were dominated by war literature, and some major contributions even came in the 1960s, such as the Danish Communist Hans Scherfig’s (1905-79) attack on his country’s betrayal of its Communists in Frydenholm (1962), or the investigation of Sweden’s treatment of Baltic refugees in The Legionnaires (1968), by Per Olov Enquist (b. 1934). Yet, broadly speaking, by the early 1960s writers were more concerned with formal experimentation. As the decade advanced, however, other political concerns came to the fore.
