Nikoline Anette Harbitz (17 November 1841 – 11 September 1898) was a Norwegian author.

Early and personal life

Nikoline Harbitz (baptised Nicoline) was the daughter of Nils Nilssøn Dahl (1806–1854) and Christopha Kirstine Rønneberg. She was the sister of Supreme Court lawyer, author and politician Walter Scott Dahl (1839–1906), author and theologian Konrad Dahl (1843–1931) and author Ulrikke Dahl (1846–1923). On 19 April 1865, she married chaplain and later parish priest Georg Prahl Harbitz (1837–1911), son of priest and politician Georg Prahl Harbitz (1802–1889). She was the mother of author Alf Harbitz.

Career

Harbitz's writing spans only four publications, which she wrote towards the end of her life, and the last one was published posthumously. Her debut novel, Brydninger was published in 1894. The story was based on conflicts between people, a common motif in her writing. The next year, she published Egteskab under the pseudonym Agnete.

Harbitz was working on the book Kassererens Hjem when she died. Only the first part of the book was completed, but it was still published the following year. A Finnish translation of the story was published in 1903.

In 1982, Mogens Haaland wrote a biography of her life titled Nikoline Harbitz, 1841-1898 : familiebakgrunn, liv og forfatterskap.
