About the author

Jenny Frederikke Blicher-Clausen was a Danish writer born in Durup in 1865. Encyclopedic sources consistently remember her above all as a poet, especially for her debut collection Digte from 1885 and the later work Violin from 1900. She also wrote plays, including Christian den Anden, which was performed at Copenhagen's Dagmar Theatre.

She wrote under the pen name John Bentsen as well as her own name. Sources describe her as a popular author in her time, and her work ranged across poetry, fiction, and drama.

Blicher-Clausen died in 1907, leaving behind a body of work that keeps her name alive in Danish literary history.
