Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Andreas Paulson (16 February 1861 – 1 March 1953) was a Norwegian bank accountant, and also a

theatre critic
.

He was born in Bergen as the son of politician Olav Paulssøn (1822–1896) and Anna Kristine Christofa Hagerup (1824–1917).[1] His family had moved from Jølster the year before he was born,[2] and Paulson spent most of his life in Bergen. He married Amalia Marie Geist in October 1888.[1] He was a younger brother of Ragnvald Paulson.[3]

Paulson did not finish his secondary education, but he spent formative years in the

class struggle as a driving force in history, but also in the refinement and actions of individuals; being described by professor Harald Beyer as "an independent individualist".[1]

Nonetheless, he was also involved in more bourgeois endeavors, being a consultant for the theatre Den Nationale Scene from 1928 to 1933. He also contributed to the biographical dictionary Norsk biografisk leksikon, and supported Riksmål as a written form of the Norwegian language. Parallel to his writing career, he worked for the Bank of Norway, being an accountant in its Bergen branch from 1901 until his retirement in 1929. He was honored with a Festschrift on his ninetieth birthday. He died in March 1953 in Bergen.[1] He was a grandfather of Finn Ludt and Bjørn Paulson.[4]
