These three collections gather Undset’s shorter and non-fiction prose. Stages on the Road (1934) contains biographical essays on medieval figures, particularly saints and religious thinkers. Men, Women and Places (1939) collects her observations on Scandinavian life and culture.

The Unknown Sigrid Undset (2001) is a posthumous collection that reintroduces her early novel Jenny alongside other works that were difficult to find in English. It was edited to give modern readers a broader picture of Undset beyond the two medieval sagas that defined her reputation.
