Comments to my blog
Comments to my blog are always welcome – whether it be additional information, corrections, different angles, criticism or whatever – I always feel grateful when people find the time to write a few words.
As the readers have discovered already, comments to the blog are not published immediately. I have decided to moderate the comments to avoid spam, obscenities etc. I usually check my administration area every day, but as I cannot be around every minute of the day, I feel more comfortable with the opportunity to control the contents of the comments that are posted.
It should be stressed, however, that all comments that I have received so far «have passed through the eye of the needle». The only exceptions have been comments written in either Chinese or Japanese or with letters or figures that are not recognisable at all.
The blog language is English, so I would prefer if everyone write back in English as well. I will, however, accept comments written in Danish, Swedish or Norwegian as well as in German – but if you wish that most people should be able to understand your comments, then I guess that English is the best choice.
This blog is written by Dag T. Hoelseth, a Norwegian historian specialising in royal history.
I have a Cand.philol. degree in history from the University of Oslo and graduated in 1997 with the dissertation Det nasjonale kongedømme. Det norske monarkiet 1905-1910, which dealt with the royal election in Norway 1905 and how the new dynasty "became Norwegian".
I am the author of Historisk utredning om Kongehuset, dets apanasjer og disponible statseiendommer, which was published on behalf of the Palace Committee in 2001. The report focused among others on the history of the Norwegian civil list from 1905 to the 1970s as well as the properties the king of Norway has to his disposal.
I have made contributions to several antologies and also written articles for various publications. More often I have operated "behind the scene", consulting newspapers etc. with background information.
Among my other interests are genealogy, Norwegian-American emigration history, US presidential history, traveling, football and ice hockey.
