RITMENNT Abstracts Ögmundur Helgason: Handrit Halldórs Laxness. Varðveisla þeirra og vistun í handritadeild Landsbókasafns. Ritmennt 7 (2002), pp. 9-22. Halldór Laxness's first book was published in 1919, the last work he prepared for publication appeared in 1980, and his collected worlcs con- sist of more than 50 volumes.

Although Halldór Laxness is by most people best remembered as a novelist, it is shown here that his contribution to the Icelandic theatre is an important part of his achievement: most of his major novels have been dramatized and he wrote some of the most innovative plays of his time in Iceland. Contrary to views sometimes expressed, he was perhaps Iceland's most out- standing playwright for a considerable part of the 20th century. Jökull Sævarsson: Laxness í leikgerð.

Halldór Laxness, who showed an active inter- est in the visual arts and wrote extensively on the subject, was acquainted with a large number of Icelandic artists, many of whom painted his portrait. The earliest portraits date from 1925, and up to 1985 his portrait was painted by some of the best-known painters of Iceland. He was also a popular subject with Icelandic and foreign caricaturists.

Already in 1938 Halldór Laxness tried to have his works published in the Soviet Union, but without success, and his first book in Russian did not appear until 1954. The reception of his works in the Soviet Union is most interesting as from the beginning it depended very much on political attitudes and decisions, apparently without much influence of the market. In the discussion of his works a gradual shift in em- phasis can be seen: at first he was hailed as a friend of the Soviet Union and an ally in the world struggle, but as time went by he was more often regarded as a guardian of the ancient legacy of the saga tradition, the eternal Icelander, a leader of this people of books.

Some of the musical settings of Laxness's texts, which are as varied from a musical perspective as they are from a literary one, are discussed, and an appendix lists the compositions to Laxness's poems by Icelandic and foreign composers.

Illustrations and dust-jackets of Icelandic and foreign editions of tlie books by Halldór Laxness are discussed, and it is pointed out that the importance of illustrations differs from one 189
