Kitty Lossius (April 19, 1892 – November 26, 1981)[2] was a Norwegian teacher and novelist.[3][4] She had a publishing career that lasted nearly fifty years.
Lossius grew up in Kristiansund,[5] where she graduated from high school in 1908.[4] She graduated as a teacher from Levanger Normal School in 1914,[4][6] and she took a four-month course at the State Gymnastics School in 1917.[4]
She debuted with the novel Ranka Paus (1919), and later she wrote the play Grobund (1920) and ten more novels and two books for young girls.[7][8][9]
Her books are described as "stamped with the character of Kristiansund."[10] Her debut novel is about a priest's wife that is an author and experiences her opinions colliding with the role of a priest's wife. The play Grobund is about contrasts between the bourgeoisie and the working class.[11] Her books are referred to both as entertaining literature[7][12] and as psychologically-realistic novels from a bourgeois environment.[13] The novel Enken og jomfruen (The Widow and the Maiden, 1954) is based on actual events; her grandfather's love story with an elderly widow.[14]
Family
Lossius's grandfather Caspar Kahrs Lossius (1799–1868) was a farmer and the mayor of Aure, and her father Caspar Kahrs Lossius (1844–1906) was a ship's captain and hotel owner.[6] After her father's death, Lossius's mother Christine Magdalene (née Eberg)[15] took over running the hotel, and Lossius worked for a time in a bookstore.[16] She worked as a teacher in Kristiansund from 1915 to 1932, when she quit due to illness.[4] In 1934 she was living in Oslo.[4] She was married to the actor Robert Sperati.[1]
