Johan Sebastian Cammermeyer Welhaven (22 December 1807 – 21 October 1873) was a Norwegian author, poet, critic and art theorist.〔(''Johan Sebastian Welhaven'' (Dagbladet.no © 2003) )〕 He has been considered "one of the greatest figures in Norwegian literature."〔Foster, Beryl. 2007. ''The Songs of Edvard Grieg''. Boydell Press, p. 64〕 ==Background== Johan Welhaven was born in Bergen, Norway in 1807. His grandfather, Johan Andrew Welhaven (1748–1811) was a teacher and later assistant to the pastor at St Mary's Church (''Mariakirken''), which served the city's German community. The author's father, Johan Ernst Welhaven (1775–1828), was a pastor at St. George's Hospital, (''St. Jørgens spedalskehospital''), while his mother, Else Margaret Cammermeyer, was the daughter of Johan Sebastian Cammermeyer, resident chaplain of The Cross Church (''Korskirken'').〔(''Welhaven Family'' (Store norske leksikon) )〕 Johan Welhaven was the member of an accomplished family which included his sister socialite Maren Sars, the wife of theologian and biologist Michael Sars (1805–1869), and mother of historian, Ernst Sars (1835–1917), marine biologist Georg Ossian Sars (1837–1927) and mezzosoprano singer Eva Nansen (1858–1907). Johan Welhaven was himself the father of Norwegian architect Hjalmar Welhaven. Welhaven attended Bergen Cathedral School from 1817-25. In 1828 he began to study theology under the supervision of his father, but that same year his father died, and thus, Welhaven continued his studies at the university in the capital, where he came to live the rest of your life.. After his final exams at the University of Christiania in 1827, he devoted himself to literature. In 1836 he had visited France and Germany; and in 1858 he went to Italy to study archaeology. In 1840, he was appointed lecturer in philosophy at the Royal Frederik's University in Christiania and delivered a series of lectures on literary subjects. When in 1843 he obtained an academic job, controversy aroused because he had not even completed his theological degree, and had not published any work of philosophical nature. Wergeland also searched for the position and completed a theological degree and used the illustrations of ''Creation, Man and the Messiah'' to show his deep historical and philosophical knowledge. He became professor in 1846. Afterwards, he spent 26 years lecturing in philosophy at the University from 1840 to 1866. His influence was extended by his appointment as director of the Society of Arts.〔(''Johan Sebastian Welhaven /utdypning'' (Store norske leksikon) )〕 He died in Christiania in 1873. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Johan Sebastian Welhaven」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
