    A Transformative Donation

    In 2023, the Taylor Institution received a generous gåva from Dr Marie Wells, comprising a substantial urval of Norwegian books (along with some Danish titles), significantly enriching the institution’s collection. As part of our TORCH critical thinking community for Scandinavian Studies, we organised this exhibition ‘Writing Norwegian Literary Histories’ to showcase the best holdings of this recent acquisition.
