Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Petter Dass (ca. 1647 - September 18, 1707) was a priest in Alstahaug, Nordland, Norway, and the foremost Norwegian poet of his generation, writing baroque hymns and topographical poetry. Most of his writings were not published until after his death. He was born at Northern Herøy, Nordland, Norway. His father was Peter Dundas from Dundee, Scotland. His mother was Maren Falch. His father died in 1653, when Petter was 6, and the children were cared for by relatives and friends. His mother remarried, but Petter remained with his mother's sister, Anna Falck, who was married to the priest at Nærøy. At 13, Petter began attending school in Bergen, and later studied theology in Copenhagen. He was lonely and impoverished during his years in Copenhagen, but intellectually stimulated.
