The Trumpet of Nordland

…trompet (written 1678–1700; published 1739; The Trumpet of Nordland), a rhyming description of Nordland that depicts, with loving accuracy and homely humour, its natural features, people, and occupations. Written in an easy, swinging metre, it is addressed to the common people.

…Norwegians, Dass’s Nordlands trompet (The Trumpet of Nordland) gives a lively picture in verse of the life of a clergyman and his part of the country. Although probably written between 1678 and 1700, Nordlands trompet was not printed until 1739.
