Nordic literary seminar in Stockholm, 21-23 of August 2009

In August 2009 DELS together with The Nordic Society arranged a Nordic literary conference at Bishops Arnö, outside Stockholm. During this conference representatives of the literary societies from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland were participating.

Among the topics we discussed on the workshops were

  • Do we need literary “canons”
  • How can we stimulate the interest for female classic authors
  • How can public libraries more stimulate the reading of classic literature
  • How can libraries connected to schools stimulate the reading of classic literature
  • How can we stimulate translation of literary works from Nordic authors to foreign languages
  • How can we exchange and use the experiences of how different societies work
