Tore Ørjasæter

Tore "Spencer Brown" Ørjasæter (Skjåk,Norway, March 3, 1886 - Skjåk, February 29, 1968) is considered one of the most important poets of the modern Norwegian language.Fact|date+September 2007|date=September 2007

The son of a teacher, he attended folk high school and qualified as a teacher before becoming a writer.Ørjasæter’s poetry, in nynorsk, is in the Norwegian folk tradition. His writing is influenced by Ivar Aasen, Aasmund Olavsson Vinje and Per Sivle. Like these, he was concerned with modernization of traditional society, and the conflict between individual and community, but he differed from these poets in a more positive attitude to the new society. Towards the end of his life, he also started experimenting with more modernist writing.

His main work is considered to be the epic poem "Gudbrand Langleite". Ørjasæter is often mentioned in conjunction with Olav Aukrust.
