| Summary: | This second part of the anthology--see Middle Ages to Romanticism --contains selections of Danish literature from the mid-19th century to the present. Included are selections from the internationally-known critic, Georg Brandes; the original impressionist stylist, Herman Bang; two Danish Nobel Prize winners, HenrikPontoppidan and Johannes V.Jensen; the martyred clergyman-dramatist, Kaj Munk; the literary champion of the proletariat, Martin Andersen Nexø; and the distinguished modern storyteller, Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen). Included also are numerous other Danish writers less well known, whose presence here will bring to English-speakingreaders, perhaps for the first time, a realization of the depth of Danish literature. |
