While Kierkegaard is primarily known as a philosopher or religious
thinker, his writings have also been used extensively by literary
writers, critics and artists. This use can be traced in the work of
major cultural figures not just in Denmark and Scandinavia but also
in the wider world. They 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 present
volume documents this influence in the different language groups
and traditions. Tome III investigates the works of Swedish and
Norwegian writers and artists inspired by Kierkegaard. In Sweden
the novelist Victoria Benedictsson made use of Kierkegaard during
the period of the so-called Modern Breakthrough, as did the
playwright August Strindberg. Later Swedish writers have continued
to draw on his thought, such as Selma Lagerlof, Lars Ahlin, Lars
Gyllensten, and Carl-Henning Wijkmark. The Norwegian reception of
Kierkegaard also began remarkably early and was shaped by the
leading names in Norwegian cultural life. Despite his coy responses
to questions about his relation to Kierkegaard, Henrik Ibsen
clearly seems to have been inspired by the Dane in works such as
Brand. Norwegian writer and poet Bjornstjerne Bjornson, who was
influenced by the Modern Breakthrough movement, was also deeply
inspired by Kierkegaard. Finally, the celebrated Norwegian artist
Edvard Munch (1863-1944) closely studied key Kierkegaardian
concepts such as anxiety, and his influence is notable in his
iconic paintings such as The Scream.
