Publisher's Synopsis
Of very few authors can it be said with the same literal ness as, of Kierkegaard that their life is their works: as if to furnish living proof of his untiring insistance on inward ness, his life, like that of so many other spiritual educators of the race, is notably poor in incidents; but his life of ih ward experiences is all the richer - witness the literature within a literature that came to be within a few years and that gave to Danish letters a score of immortal works.
