Summary: "The Oxonian in Thelemarken, Volume 1" by Frederick Metcalfe is a travelogue detailing the author's explorations in southwestern Norway during the summers of 1856 and 1857. Written in the mid-19th century, this work intertwines a personal narrative of adventure with cultural observations, depicting the rustic charm of Norway and its people. The author, who is often introspective and humorous, is keen to immerse himself in the primitive beauty and old-world customs of a land that he believes offers a reprieve from the monotony of civilized society. The opening of the book introduces readers to the author's reflections on his love for Norway's diverse landscapes, alongside the exhilarating activities such as salmon fishing. He shares vivid descriptions of the Norwegian coast and its natural features while contrasting them with the social complexities of modern life. As he prepares for another expedition into Thelemarken, Metcalfe paints a picture of his companions, including a rowdy group of travelers, and offers insights into the uniquely Norwegian characters he encounters, thus setting the stage for an engaging exploration of both the land and its legends.
