According to JOHAN DE MYLIUS of the Danish Royal Library, Jens
Peter Jacobsen was a "poet associated with the so-called 'modern
breakthrough' in Danish literature in the 1870s. . . . Jacobsen's
immediate importance was his status as the 'writer of his
generation.' Jacobsen's breakthrough came already in 1876 with the
historical and psychological novel "Fru Marie Grubbe,"" entitled
"Marie Grubbe" in English, "which for the first time in Danish
literature presented a profound portrayal of a woman as a creature
of instinct and desire and as a being searching for her own
identity. The book's defiant individualism asserting human values
as opposed to society's judgment was also a sign of modernity."
