Gyldendal's Endowment
Gyldendal's Endowment was a literature prize which was awarded in the period 1934–1995 by the Norwegian publisher Gyldendal Norsk Forlag. The prize was awarded to significant authors, regardless of which publisher the author was associated with. The basic capital of the legacies came from the release of "Bjørnson's collective works" in 1932.
From 1996 the Gyldendals endowment was superseded by the Gyldendal Prize for "particularly significant writing" and (since 1998) by the "Sult-prisen" (Hunger Award) for "
Samlede dikt" – collected poems(1996)
- "Etterlatte dikt" – poems (1997) (posthumously, edited by Jan Erik Vold)
- "Jeg glemmer ingen" – poems (1999) (edited by Jan Erik Vold, illustrated with water color paintings by Ruth Maier) ("I forget no one")
