| 520 | _a"The Oxonian in Thelemarken, volume 2 (of 2)" by Frederick Metcalfe is a travel account written in the mid-19th century. This volume continues the author's observations and experiences traveling through South-Western Norway during the summers of 1856 and 1857, blending personal anecdotes with cultural, historical, and ethnographical insights about the regions he explores. The narrative reflects on the differences between Scandinavian nations and local customs, providing a vivid depiction of the landscapes and people Metcalfe encounters. The opening of the volume introduces the author as he navigates through Denmark on his way to Copenhagen. He reflects on the distinct characteristics of Danish and Norwegian cultures, including language pronunciation and social customs while sharing his personal encounters, such as a peculiar stay at a hotel and interactions with locals. Furthermore, Metcalfe draws comparisons between the landscapes of Denmark and Norway, highlighting the more structured, sociable life in Denmark against the rugged nature of Norway, often tying these observations back to the historical context of the regions. The blend of humor and keen observation sets the stage for further explorations into Norwegian life and landscape, promising readers an insightful journey through both time and place.
