However, as is well known inside Denmark, Kierkegaard and Andersen were not isolated ﬁgures in the Danish intellectual and artistic scene of the day; rather, they were merely the best-known representatives of an extremely rich period in Danish cultural life that began at the start of the nineteenth century and continued for some ﬁfty or sixty years. This period, which has been designated “the Golden Age of Denmark,” is only now coming to be appreciated for its full signiﬁcance.

In recent years there has been a growing interest in the rich culture of the Danish Golden Age. It is no exaggeration to say that in almost every area of cultural life women played a signiﬁcant role in this period. While some works on this topic have appeared in Danish, the international reader has had very little opportunity to assess the important cultural contributions made by women during the Golden Age. The present monograph wishes to ﬁll this gap by presenting the role of women in literature and theater and by discussing the more general question of the emancipation of women of the time. The book is divided into three main parts, based on three main areas of interest. Each area has its central ﬁgure, who can be regarded as representative for the respective ﬁeld. Thus, the ﬁrst part, dedicated to literature, has as its focal point Thomasine Gyllembourg (1773-1856) and her writings. The second part deals with the theater and the most famous actress of the period, Johanne Luise Heiberg (1812-90). Finally, the third part discusses the question of the emancipation of women examined through the case of the controversial author Mathilde Fibiger (1830-72). More titles in the series Volume 1: K.
