From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Arne Garborg (1851-1924) was a Norwegian writer. He was born in Time, Norway. He was married to Hulda Garborg.
Garborg championed the use of Nynorsk, or New Norwegian, as a literary language; he translated the Odyssey into it. He also founded the weekly Fedraheim in 1877, by which he urged reforms in many spheres, such as political, social, religious, agrarian, and linguistic.
