About the author
Born in Nykøbing Falster in 1821, he grew up in Kolding and later Roskilde after his father's death. He became a student at a young age, took his theology degree, and went on to serve as a priest while also building a literary career.
He is remembered in Danish literary and biographical sources as both a priest and an author, with a particular interest in the philosophy of religion. His work included poems and dramas, and he was known as a cultivated writer within 19th-century Danish letters.
Near the end of his life, he published an autobiographical memoir, Mit liv og levned som jeg selv har forstaaet det, which reflects on his childhood, education, and professional path. He died in 1897.
