A Danish poet and story-writer; born at Ringsted, May 8, 1837; died at Fredericksberg, January 1, 1901. His early poems were an echo of the old Romance poetry; and his dramatic poem "Out in the Forest" (1868) has a like inspiration. But his native talent was awakened in 1872, chiefly by the lectures of Georg Brandes, and thenceforth he was a pronounced realist. The first fruits of the change to realism are seen in "From the Provinces" (1876), a collection of short tales, which were followed by "Youthful Days" (1879); "Little Folk" (1880); "Story of Thomas Fris" (1881); "Reminiscences" (1889); "William Vang's Student Years" (1894).
