INTRODUCTION

An autobiographical element is evident in practically everything that
Hamsun has written. But it is particularly marked in the two volumes now
published under the common title of "Wanderers," as well as in the

Pedersen from the Northlands" through whose vision the fates of Captain
Falkenberg and his wife are gradually unfolded to us. Not only do they
refer undisguisedly to events known to be taken out of Hamsun's own

certain period so closely that they may well be regarded as diaries of
an unusually intimate character.
