While Kierkegaard is primarily known as a philosopher or religious
thinker, his writings have also been used extensively by literary
writers, critics and artists worldwide who have been attracted to
his creative mixing of genres, his complex use of pseudonyms, his
rhetoric and literary style, and his rich images, parables, and
allegories. The goal of the present volume is to document this
influence in different language groups and traditions. Tome II is
dedicated to the use of Kierkegaard by later Danish writers. Almost
from the beginning Kierkegaard's works were standard reading for
these authors. Danish novelists and critics from the Modern
Breakthrough movement in the 1870s were among the first to make
extensive use of his writings. These included the theoretical
leader of the movement, the critic Georg Brandes, who wrote an
entire book on Kierkegaard, and the novelists Jens Peter Jacobsen
and Henrik Pontoppidan. The next generation of writers from the
turn of the century and through the First World War also saw in
Kierkegaard important points of inspiration. These included Ernesto
Dalgas and Harald Kidde, who used elements of Kierkegaard's thought
in their novels. Modern Danish writers such as Karen Blixen, Martin
A. Hansen, and Villy SArensen have continued to incorporate
Kierkegaard into their works. There can be no doubt that
Kierkegaard has indelibly stamped his name on Danish literature.
