Guomundur Kamban (1888-1945) was an Icelandic playwright and novelist. He graduated from the College of Reykjavik, where he received honoris causa in literature and language. While still at college, he was made assistant editor of the best known newspaper in Iceland, edited by Bjorn Jansson. In 1908 he adopted the family name Kamban in place of his birth name (Guomundur Jansson) and advocated a change in Icelandic naming conventions. In 1910, he proceeded to the University of Copenhagen, where he specialized in literature and received his Master's degree. In 1914 he published his first play, Hadda Padda which was endorsed by Georg Brandes and shown in the Danish Royal Theatre with Kamban as assistant director. In 1920 he achieved success at Dagmarteatret with We Murderers and was employed as a director at the theatre. He is also author of spirited and erudite historical novels, based upon the Icelandic sagas, include Skalholt (4 vol., 1930-32) and I See a Wondrous Land (1936).
