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.' With the novel "Niels Lyhne" (1880) he voiced the
disoriented and confused rejection of the old values, Romanticism's
dream and religion. . . . Like the single volume of short stories
Jacobsen published in 1882, three years before he died of
tuberculosis, both novels are unique in an age of realism on
account of their highly charged, atmospheric prose and almost
lyrical style."
