Comedies

Ludvig Holberg, an influential 18th-century Norwegian writer, is celebrated for founding modern Danish and Norwegian literature, particularly through his comedies. However, following the Copenhagen Fire of 1728, a wave of depression and Puritanism led him to shift focus from satire to philosophical and historical writing. Notable comedic works featured include "Jeppe of the Hill," "The Political Tinker," and "Erasmus Montanus," showcasing his ability to blend humor with insightful commentary on society.
