About the author
Jeppe Aakjær (1866–1930) was a Danish poet and novelist and one of the representative figures of Danish regional literature. Born in Jutland, he set much of his work in the Jutland countryside, portraying fields, farmers and the everyday lives of ordinary country people in plain, heartfelt language with a strong local and folk flavour. His poems were often set to music and sung, while his novels addressed the realities of rural society; he thus holds a place in the transition of Danish literature from Romanticism toward realism. Two of his works are held here, the first and second volumes of Samlede Værker, the opening parts of his collected works, which offer a sense of his writing. Public information on the details of his life is limited, so this entry focuses only on his subjects and style.
