Ragnvald Paulson

Paul Ragnvald Paulson (1858 – 1926) was a Norwegian book publisher and politician for the Labour Party.

He hailed from Bergen and was an older brother of Andreas Paulson.[1] The family had moved to Bergen from Jølster in 1860, as the father, politician Olav Paulssøn (1822–1896), was offered a job there.[2][3]

He started an antiquarian bookshop in Bergen in 1884, and later expanded with a publishing house. The publishing house perished in the city fire in Bergen in 1916. Paulson also translated socialist literature, including Peter Kropotkin, Robert Blatchford and other Fabians. He was a member of Bergen city council, and had influence in the nationwide party around 1905–1906.[1] He died in late 1926.[4]
