Outside the rain is crying. A book about the poet Jóhann Sigurjónsson, by Sveinn Einarsson.
Jóhann Sigurjónsson is undoubtedly one of the leading Icelandic poets of the 20th century. His poetry strikes a new tone, completely different from that which characterizes the magnificent poetry of the next generation. He was a pioneer of modernism in Icelandic poetry and has written some of the most beautiful poems that Icelanders have. He was also the first Icelander to have a memorable success as a playwright both in Iceland and abroad.
In this groundbreaking work, Sveinn Einarsson sheds light on Jóhann's qualities as both a poet and a playwright. He thoroughly analyzes how the influence of symbolism manifests itself in Jóhann and explains why Jóhann's plays fared so poorly.
In the book, Jóhann Sigurjónsson appears to us as a unique poet but in a clear context with the spirit of the times and the culture of his time.
