What artist technique is Hamsun known for pioneering in literature?

  • Stream of consciousness

  • Symbolism

  • Cubism

  • Realism

Answer

Hamsun was one of the first writers to use stream of consciousness, which is a technique that depicts the flow of thoughts in a character's mind. This can be done through free association, which is when a character's thoughts are presented without any logical connection, or through interior monologue, which is when a character's thoughts are presented as a narrative.
