[edit] Mergewith proposal=
I agree with the latest reversion. Asbjørnsen and Moe were distinct individuals, and their biographies should not be merged. --Leifern 00:00, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Removed the following from Peter Christen Asbjørnsen
I removed the following paras from the article about Asbjørnsen while cleaning up that article, as they would fit better in this article. If someone by any chance edits this article before I get a chance to do so, please add them in some way:
From 1841 to 1882 Moe travelled almost every summer through the southern parts of Norway, collecting traditions in the mountains. In 1845 he was appointed professor of theology in the Military Shool of Norway. He had, however, long intended to take holy oders, and in 1853 he did so, becoming for ten years a resident chaplain in Sigdal, and then (1863) parish priest of Bragernes. He was moved in 1870 to the parish of Vestre Aker, near Christiania, and in 1875 he was appointed bishop of Christiansand. In January 1882 he resigned his diocese on account of failing Health, and died on the following 27th of March.
Moe has a special claim on critical attention in regard to his lyrical poems, of which a small collection appeared in 1850. He wrote little original verse, but in his slender volume are to be found many pieces of exquisite delicacy and freshness. Moe also published a delightful collection of prose stories for children, In the Well and the Churn (I Bronde og i Kjcernet), 1851; and A Little Christmas Present (En liden Julegave), 1860. Asbjornsen and Moe had the advantage of an admirable style in narrative prose. It was usual that the vigour came from Asbjornsen and the charm from Moe, but it seems that from the long habit of writing in unison they had come to adopt almost precisely identical modes of literary expression. bjelleklang 11:31, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
