Mild bumping to the edges and corners and mild shelf wear to covers. Binding tight; pages clean and unmarked. A small "SCSH Lending Library" label affixed to the half-title page with handwritten dates; not an institutional ex-library copy. Otherwise unmarked.The first English-language translation of Bodil Stenseth's 2019 Norwegian study Fru Muus' klage, this volume reconstructs the 1880s Minnesota lawsuit in which Oline Muus sued her husband, Norwegian-American Lutheran pastor Bernt Julius Muus, to recover her inheritance. The case became a flashpoint in Norwegian-American religious life: Oline's refusal to defer to her husband and her decision to take her grievance to the secular courts rather than the congregation drew condemnation from the Norwegian Synod, while the underlying questions of inheritance law and women's rights placed the case at the intersection of immigrant assimilation, church authority, and the changing legal status of married women in late nineteenth-century America. Stenseth contextualizes the dispute within the founding of Holden Church in Goodhue County, the politics of the various Lutheran conferences, and the broader social conditions of Norwegian immigrants in Minnesota. Edited and translated by Kari Lie Dorer with co-translator Torild Homstad.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In1880s Minnesota a remarkable lawsuit posed questions about cultural practicesin an immigrant community and the rights of its members as Americans--inspiring a wide-reaching debate about faith and family.Copublished with the Norwegian-American Historical Association on the occasion of St. Olaf College's sesquicentennial, Muus v. Muus is the American edition of a volume originally published in Norway. Newly translated, this gripping narrative details a prominent nineteenth-century Lutheran couple's separation, which signaled a cultural shift. Oline Muus was many things: a Norwegian immigrant, a pastor's wife, a mother, and a valued member of her rural Minnesota congregation. But when she sued her husband to recoup her inheritance, she gained notoriety throughout Norwegian America and beyond. In the eyes of the Norwegian Synod she had erred by not bringing her complaint to the congregation first, and by refusing to defer completely to her husband. In her new home of America, the law regarding inheritance was on her side and the campaign of rights for women was gaining ground. Yet in her own congregation Oline Muus was literally not allowed to speak. The other half of the story, Pastor Bernt Muus, was acclaimed for his fiery sermons and his tireless recruitment efforts among the faithful, yet also known for his abrasiveness and overweening confidence. This riveting story looks beyond the case of Muus v. Muus to contextualize the arrival of Norwegians in Minnesota, conflicts among various Lutheran conferences, and questions of Americanization--introducing readers to compelling characters and the challenges that come from intertwined lives and conflicting worldviews.…
