Danish-Norwegian author Aksel Sandemose called these commandments "the Jante' Law," so-named for his protagonist's fictional Danish home-town in the semi-autobiographical novelA Fugitive Crosses His Tracks(orig. pub. 1933; English trans., 1936:77-78). Over the years this ironic credo of elder-dominated communal living has expanded and acquired a special resonance with respect to Swedish cultural self-image. Today in Sweden, the Jante Law occupies a place in the popular imagination as a descriptor of a specifically Scandinavian attitude, a subtly enforced culture of moderation and humility
