(Edmund William) Gosse, Edmund William, Sir The Bridal March; One Day Produced by Clare Boothby, Charlene Taylor and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Bridal March; One Day" by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson is a work of fiction written in the late 19th century. This intricate tale explores themes of love, class conflict, and personal struggle against a backdrop of rural Norway. The story primarily follows two families intertwined by the fiddler Ole Haugen’s legendary Bridal March, focusing particularly on the lives of Aslaug, a cottar's daughter, and Knut, a wealthy peasant, alongside their eventual descendants. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Ole Haugen, a fiddler who has captured the hearts of many with his music, particularly a Bridal March tied to a prophecy of happiness for the couples it accompanies. His daughter, Aslaug, symbolizes the melding of class divides when she falls in love with Knut, the son of a wealthy farmer. As the story unfolds, we see the repercussions of their union through generations, particularly with their granddaughter, Mildrid, who grapples with societal expectations and her own desires as she navigates her relationship with Hans Haugen, a descendant of Ole. Their love story blossoms amidst the weight of history, family duty, and the pressing judgments of their community, evoking a rich tapestry of emotions and dilemmas that resonate throughout the opening chapters.
