Henrik Johan Ibsen oli norjalainen näytelmäkirjailija ja runoilija. Ibseniä pidetään usein modernin draaman isänä. Hänen tunnetuimpia teoksiaan ovat Brand, Peer Gynt, En folkefiende, Kejser og Galilær, Nukkekoti, Hedda Gabler, Kummittelijoita, Villisorsa ja Rosmersholma. Eeppinen runo Terje Vigen on Norjan kirjallisuuden rakastetuimpia runoja. Se kertoo pula-ajasta vuonna 1814, jolloin Tanska-Norja oli sodassa sekä Englannin että Ruotsin kanssa.
Henrik Pontoppidan oli tanskalainen kirjailija. Hänelle myönnettiin Nobelin kirjallisuuspalkinto yhdessä maanmiehensä Karl Adolph Gjellerupin kanssa 1917. Pontoppidanin romaanit ja novellit antavat realistisen ja yksityiskohtaisen kuvan tanskalaisesta elämänmenosta vuosisadan vaihteessa.
