About the author
Peter Nansen (January 20, 1861–July 31, 1918) was a Danish novelist, journalist, and publisher born in Copenhagen. He is best known for Julie’s Diary, Marie, and God’s Peace, later grouped as Love’s Trilogy; Marie was especially admired in its time.
Nansen spent about two decades working for the Copenhagen publishing house Gyldendal, where he became an editor and publishing director. He was also associated with the newspaper Politiken and was regarded as an influential cultural figure in Denmark.
He left Gyldendal in 1916 after a dispute with the Hegel family, later describing his years at the firm in Mine 20 Aar i Gyldendal (1918). He died in Mariager, Denmark, on July 31, 1918.
