More about the book

Exploring the life of Jens Peter Jacobsen, the narrative delves into his dual passions for poetry and botany, highlighting his innovative contributions to Danish literature during a transformative period. Jacobsen, born in 1847, sought to blend scientific observation with poetic expression, inspired by Darwin's theories. His literary journey began with the short story "Mogens," leading to his ambitious novel "Mistress Marie Grubbe," which draws on historical figures and events. The introduction by Georg Brandes emphasizes Jacobsen's role in modernizing the Danish language and literature.
