Carl Richard Unger (2 July 1817 – 30 November 1897) was a Norwegian historian and philologist.[1] Unger was professor of Germanic and Romance philology at the University of Christiania from 1862[1] and was a prolific editor of Old Norse texts.[2]
Early life
Unger was born in Christiania, now Oslo, to Johan Carl Jonassen Unger and Annemarie Wetlesen.[1] Between 1830 and 1832 he lived in Telemark with the poet and priest Simon Olaus Wolff.[1] He graduated from school in 1835.[1]
Academic career
Unger studied philology after school but did not receive a degree as mathematics, a subject with which he struggled, was compulsory for philologists.[1] However, in 1841 he was awarded a scholarship to continue studying Old Norse, Old English and Old German.[1]
In 1845 Unger began lecturing on Old Norse at the University of Christiana.[1] He was appointed lecturer of Germanic and Romance philology in 1851 and became professor in 1862.[1]
