Carl Bagger
Carl Christian Bagger (born May 10, 1807 in Copenhagen , † October 25, 1846 in Odense ) was a Danish writer and journalist.
Bagger was the son of the lawyer Peter Christian Bagger and his wife Sophie Poulsen. Bishop Hans Bagger was one of his ancestors.
After successfully completing his schooling, Bagger began to study philology and literature at the University of Copenhagen . Friedrich Carl Petit and Hans Christian Andersen were friends when he was a student in Copenhagen . After completing his studies, Bagger got a job as a columnist for a Copenhagen newspaper.
In 1836 Bagger moved to Odense as editor-in-chief for the magazine Fyens Stiftsavis . He held this post until the end of his life. He died there on October 25, 1846 at the age of 39.
One focus of his early literary work is poetry, which later has to take a back seat to the narratives. The autobiographical story Min Broders Levned ( Eng . "My Brother's Life") was created in 1835 based on French models and is considered one of his most important works. In 1847 it was translated into German by Julius Reuscher .
