Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments This being the collected poems by one of Norway's leading poets there were four different editions of his Collected Poems while he was still alive.

He died in 1959 and this edition was published in 1936-37.

I suggest the series name be "Samlede dikt 1936-37"

These don't seem like what Goodreads considers a series.


Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments Well, had they been published after 1970 you can be pretty sure they'd have a collective ISBN in addition to ones for the individual volumes.

When the other Collected Poems editions are added, there will be a mess.

lethe | 16368 comments A collective ISBN only means they were sold as a set. Doesn't make them a series.

If they were sold only as a set (not as separate volumes) they should have one single book record on Goodreads.

Collected works are never considered series on Goodreads.


Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments I'm pretty sure these were never sold separately.

lethe | 16368 comments Since vol. 1 was published in 1936 and vol. 6 in 1937, I don't think that is correct.
