Norwegian author. In novels, short stories, and lyric poetry, Vesaas combines insight into human psychology with a sensitivity to broader social and political concerns; symbol and allegory are central to his technique. He had been writing seriously for a decade and had published more than 10 books before the appearance of his first widely acclaimed work, The Great Cycle (1934), a novel set in rural Norway.

Norwegian novelist, short story writer, and poet, who gained fame in his homeland and other European countries before and after World War II. Vesaas wrote his works in New Norwegian (nynorsk), formerly known as landsmål, "rural language." He published several books before his first significant success, DET STORE SPELET (1934, The Great Cycle), in which he portrayed traditional life in the countryside. Vesaas spent most of his life in the province of Telemark. His wife Halldis Vesaas also was a writer.
