Misplaced Pages

Andhrimner was a literary and satirical weekly magazine, issued from January to September 1851 in Kristiania, Norway.

History and profile

Andhrimner was established in 1851, as Manden ("The Man"), but was later renamed after Andhrímnir of Norse mythology. Its editors were Aasmund Olavsson Vinje, Henrik Johan Ibsen and Paul Botten-Hansen. Some of Ibsen's early literary attempts were published in this magazine, under the pseudonym Brynjulf Bjarme, such as his poem Bjergmanden and the parody play Norma.

Even though it was a literary magazine first and foremost, it was also noted for its satire. It is regarded as Norway's second satirical magazine, after Krydseren.
