—Michael Melchior, former Deputy Foreign Minister of Israel, Chief Rabbi of Norway

"Wergeland's life and works were dedicated to the concepts of love and freedom. He never tired of helping those who were suffering and oppressed. This English translation of Wergeland's poems on the plight of the Jews will make his struggle known to a broader readership and give the rest of the world access to some of the greatest poems in Norwegian and Scandinavian literature."—Vigdis Ystad, professor of Scandinavian literature, University of Oslo

Henrik Wergeland (1808–1845) was one of the main figures in Scandinavian Romanticism and ranks as one of Norway's greatest poets.
