PONTOPPIDAN, HENRIK (1857 )

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 69 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
PONTOPPIDAN, HENRIK (1857 ) , Danish author, son of a pastor, was born at Fredericia on the 24th of July 1857. He studied physics and mathematics at the university of
Copenhagen
 , and when he was eighteen he travelled on foot through Germany and Switzerland. His novels show an intimate acquaintance with
peasant
 
life
  and character, the earlier ones showing clear evidence of the influence of Kjelland. An excellent example of his
work
  is. in the trilogy dealing with the history of Emanuel Hansted, a theorizing radical
parson
  who marries a
peasant
  wife. These three stories, Muld (" Soil," 1891), Det Forjaettede Land (" The Promised Land," 1892), and Dommens Dag (1895) are marked by fine discrimination and
great
  narrative power. Among his other works are Fret Hytlerne (1887), Folkelivsskildringer (2 parts, 1888189o), and Skyer (189o). He began in 1888 a new
series
  in Lykke Per, the story of a typical Jutlander.
See an article of Niels Moller in Dansk Biografisk Lexikon (vol, xiii., 1899).
