Johan Sebastian Cammermeyer Welhaven, (
December 22,
1807-
October 21,
1873),
Norwegian poet and critic, was born in
Bergen, the son of a pastor, in
1807.
He first studied
theology, but from
1828 onwards devoted himself to literature. In
1840 he became reader and subsequently professor of philosophy at
Christiania, and delivered a series of impressive lectures on literary subjects. In
1836 he visited
France and
Germany; and in
1858 he went to
Italy to study
archaeology. His influence was extended by his appointment as director of the Society of Arts.
Welhaven made his name as the representative of conservatism in Norwegian literature in the 19th century. In a violent attack on
Henrik Wergeland's poetry he opposed the theories of the extreme nationalists. He desired to see Norwegian culture brought into line with that of other European countries, and he himself followed the romantic tradition, being most closely influenced by
J.L. Heiberg. He represented clearness and moderation against the extravagances of Wergeland, and is now mostly known for this feud and for the poem
Republikanerne ("The Republicans"). He was also, famously, for years romantically involved with Wergeland's younger sister Camilla, whose married name would later be
Camilla Collett.
He gave an admirable practical exposition of his aesthetic creed in the
1834 sonnet cycle
Norges Dæmring ("The Dawn of Norway"). He published a volume of
Digte ("Poems") in
1839; and in
1845 Nyere Digte ("New Poems"). Other poems followed in
1848,
1851 and
1859. In the 1840s, Welhaven was a central figure of the Norwegian
national romanticism movement
[1].
