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.' Like the single volume of short stories Jacobsen
published in 1882, three years before he died of tuberculosis,"
both of his novels "are unique in an age of realism on account of
their highly charged, atmospheric prose and almost lyrical style.
Jacobsen's late Romantic or early Symbolist poetry was not
published in book form until after his death."

As one of the great authors of the Danish language, Jens Peter
Jacobsen body of work is small, including just two novels, seven
short stories, and a volume of poetry. Considered his masterpiece,
"Niels Lyhne" follows the struggles of an aspiring poet. Torn
between a childishly idealized vision of the world and the more
practical demands of adulthood in the modern world, the titular
Niels's struggle is one of faith versus reason, of romanticism
versus realism, and ultimately one of loneliness in a godless
world. As a foundational work of the Naturalist literary movement
"Niels Lyhne" greatly influenced the works of Henrik Ibsen, Hermann
Hesse, Thomas Mann, and Rainer Maria Rilke; and firmly established
Jens Peter Jacobsen in the history of Danish literature.
