A book about traditional Scandinavian folklore
I don't understand much Norwegian. The text goes:
I 1870-årenea endret dette seg. Da ble folkedraktene tatt i bruk som et kulturpolitisk symbol av folk som ville bygge en ny kultur basert på det norske, i stedet for den danske og svenske embedtsmannkulturen. Det er nå folkedraktene blir ”bunader”.
