Career
Career
After school graduation in 1876 he began to study theology, but eventually he was attracted more by folklore and religious history. From the time he was 18 years old, he collected folklore, particularly in Telemark. Moe was a professor at the University of Christiania from 1886. Moltke Moe also took up the legacy established by his father and Peter Christen Asbjørnsen. He edited the collections of Norwegian folk tales in the tradition of Asbjørnsen and Moe. After his father's death in 1882, and following the death of Peter Christen Asbjørnsen in 1885, he took over the publication of the folktales. He sent out several revised editions. He also published collections of folk songs in cooperation with Knut Liestøl.
