White field, black seeds -- who can sow? The riddle refers to the
ability to write, a skill which in most Nordic countries was not
regarded as necessary for everyone. And yet a significant number of
ordinary people with no access to formal schooling took up the pen
and produced a variety of highly interesting texts: diaries,
letters, memoirs, collections of folklore and hand-written
newspapers. This collection presents the work of primarily Nordic
scholars from fields such as linguistics, history, literature and
folklore studies who share an interest in the production,
dissemination and reception of written texts by non-privileged
people during the long nineteenth century.
