Denmark"s Catalyst | Edward Broadbridge Og Hans Raun Iversen | Språk: Engelsk

<i>Denmark's Catalyst. The Life and Letters of N.F.S. Grundtvig</i> is the final book in the 6-volume series '<i>N.F.S. Grundtvig. Works in English</i>', Published by Aarhus University Press. Translator Edward Broadbridge joins forces with Grundtvig scholar Hans Raun Iversen in this biography of the most influential Dane in modern Denmark's history. Grundtvig (1783-1872) was a pastor, pedagogue, poet, politician, and philosopher all rolled into one. Best known internationally for his concepts of a people's (folk) high school, of 'learning for life' and of 'lifelong learning', in Denmark he is equally famous as the nation-builder and champion of 'the common good'. This comprehensive, illustrated biography is supplemented by 70 letters tracing Grundtvig's first-hand experiences in surprisingly honest terms, including his love life, his depressions, and his four trips to England.
