Biography
From 1920 to 1926 he was the chairman of the Young Liberals of Norway, the youth wing of the Liberal Party. He published several novels, plays and poems, including The Saint Olav Drama composed in 1930 and staged annually in Stiklestad since 1954. His novels include the cycle of books from the history of the Telemark county which take place in the 18th century; these were extraordinarily successful especially abroad (they were translated into Swedish, Danish, Icelandic, Norwegian, German, Russian, Dutch, French, Czech, Hungarian, Italian and Latvian). In 1938 he was awarded the Melsom Prize for his first Telemark novel Det byrja ei jonsoknatt. His son was the philosopher Ingemund Gullvåg (1925–1998).
