Biography
[edit]He hailed from Bergen. He was the son of politician Olav Paulssøn (1822–1896) and Anna Kristine Christofa Hagerup (1824–1917) and was an older brother of Andreas Paulson.[1] The family had moved to Bergen from Jølster in 1860, as the father 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 Bergen fire of 1916. Paulson also translated socialist literature, including Peter Kropotkin, Robert Blatchford and other Fabians.
