WELHAVEN, JOHANN SEBASTIAN CAMMERMEYER (1807-1873) ,
Norwegian
  poet and critic, was born at Bergen, the son of a pastor, in 1807. He first studied theology, but from 1828 onwards devoted himself to literature. In 184o he became reader and subsequently professor of philosophy at Christiania, and delivered a
series
  of impressive lectures on literary subjects. In 1836 he visited France and Germany; and in 1858 he went to Italy to study archaeology. His influence was extended by his appointment as director of the Society of Arts. He died at Christiania on the 21st of October 1873. Welhaven made his name as the representative of conservatism in
Norwegian
  literature. In a violent attack on
Wergeland
 's poetry he opposed the theories of the extreme nationalists. He desired to see Norwegian culture brought into line with that of other European countries, and he himself followed the romantic tradition, being most closely influenced by J. L. Heiberg. He represented clearness and moderation against the extravagances of
Wergeland
 . He gave an admirable
practical
  exposition of his aesthetic creed in the
sonnet
  cycle Norges Daemring (1834). He published a volume of Digte in 1839; and in 1845 Nyere Digte. The collections of old Norse poetry made by
Asbjornsen
  and Moe influenced his talent, and he first showed his full
powers
  as a poet in Nyere Digte. His descriptive poetry is admirable, but his best
work
  was inspired by his poems on old Norse subjects, in which he gives himself unreservedly to patriotic enthusiasm. Other poem; followed in 1848, 1852 and 1859.
His
critical
 
work
  includes Ewald og de norske Digtere (1863), Or Ludwig Hot berg (1854). Welhaven's Samlede Skrifter were publishec in 8 vols. at
Copenhagen
  (1867-1869).
