Abstract

Abstract Arno Schmidt is one of the most thoroughly researched German post-war authors. However, there is a significant gap with regard to his stationing in Øverås, Norway, as part of the German occupation troops during the Second World War. This applies not only to Schmidt’s experiences in Norway, but also to the influence of this period on his literary work. Accordingly, I will pursue the question of how Schmidt used his ’Norwegian years’ in his literary work. In particular, I will consider the influence of Nordic mythology on the group of the so-called “Juvenilia”, four of which originated in Norway.
