History and profile

edit

Vinduet was founded in 1947[3] by Harald Grieg and Nic. Stang. The owner is the publishing house Gyldendal Norsk Forlag.[4] Four paper editions were issued annually.

In the 1960s Vinduet adopted the eclectic thinking in dealing with literary work.[5] At the end of this period it was under the influence of younger leftist intellectuals.[5] The magazine presents fictional texts, articles about various kinds of literature, and book reviews.[6]
