Synopsis "niels lyhne"

According to JOHAN DE MYLIUS of the Danish Royal Library, Jens Peter Jacobsen and particularly his novel Niels Lyhne, a naturalist work, was a "poet associated with the so-called 'modern breakthrough'. A style of Realism native to Scandinavia.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 novels are unique in an age of realism on account of their highly charged, atmospheric prose and almost lyrical style.

Jens Peter Jacobsen (Thisted, Jutland, 1847-1885) is one of the most celebrated writers in Danish literature. He was educated in the positivist school of the Brandes brothers and translated and disseminated Darwin's work. A botanist, poet, and novelist, he is best known for his work Niels Lyhne (written in 1880), the Arabesk and Gurresange—set to music in 1911 under the title Gurrelieder by Arnold Schönberg—and the novel Fru Maria Grubbe (1876). He died of tuberculosis at the age of thirty-eight. The impressionist chromaticism of his pages and the lyricism of his descriptions have earned the admiration of great German novelists of the 20th century, including Rainer Maria Rilke, Thomas Mann, and Stefan.
