FOR ANNUAL PASSHOLDERS ONLY – In this lecture series, we take an enthusiastic look at classic works from literary history that are worth remembering and rereading.
In our lecture series The Classics, literary critic and author Klaus Rothstein takes you on a journey into some of Denmark's greatest works of fiction. Each lecture is illustrated with archival photos, original manuscripts and the like from the library's collections, giving us completely new insights into literary history.
Inger Christensen
Inger Christensen (1935-2009) is a giant in Danish literature, especially as a poet, where poetry collections such as Det (1969), Alfabet (1981) and Sommerfugledalen (1991) stand as unparalleled highlights of language and poetry. Both in Denmark and in other countries, there is a buzz about her writing, whose tone and technique are in a category of their own.
Klaus Rothstein talks about Inger Christensen's position in Danish literature, and together we delve into her original manuscripts, which we have retrieved from Royal Danish Library's magazines for today's occasion.
