Borghild Krane (born February 7, 1906 in Tromsø , † October 14, 1997 ) was a Norwegian psychiatrist and writer . She has an impact through her novel Følelsers forvirring about a lesbian love (1937) and as the initiator of the Catholic Una Voce movement (1964).

Life

Krane grew up as the third of four children of master baker Petter M. Krane and his wife Anna Olufine Krane in Tromsø. She completed a librarianship course in the USA . Then she returned to Norway and studied medicine. She worked as a psychiatrist and librarian.

She gave her first novel Følelsers forvirring the title of Stefan Zweig's novella Confusion of Emotions (1927), in which Zweig addresses male homosexuality. Krane describes the two women who love each other realistically and differentiates both in terms of the inevitability of their feelings and the differences in how they deal with them. The tone and outcome of the story are pessimistic.

In addition to other novels, she wrote two monographs on the writer and suffragette Amalie Skram and one on the writer, Nobel Prize winner and convert Sigrid Undset .

In 1964, during the Second Vatican Council , she wrote a letter to Catholic personalities with the request to defend the liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church against the looming liturgical reform. From this impetus, the Una Voce movement developed.

Borghild Crane's grave is in the Tromsø cemetery.

Quote

"Selv om man plutselig finner sig på et øde have ensomhet og forlatthet, så he det jo ikke verden som går under or tilværelsen som taper sin mening, det er bare våre følelser som forvirres." (Borghild Krane , statement from Følelsers forvirring Åse , one of the two main characters) "Even if you suddenly find yourself in a barren sea of ​​loneliness and abandonment, then it is not the world that is going to end, or existence that loses its meaning, it is only our feelings that are confused."
