Frederik Paludan-Müller

Frederik Paludan-Müller (born February 7, 1809 in Kerteminde , † December 28, 1876 in Copenhagen ) was a Danish writer .

Life

Paludan-Müller comes from a conservative pastor family; the historian Caspar Peter Paludan was his older brother. From 1828 to 1835 Paludan-Müller studied law at the University of Copenhagen . During his studies he made his debut with his play Kjärlighed ved Hoffet . He celebrated his successful graduation with a grand tour and traveled half of Europe.

After long stays in Germany, France and Italy, Paludan-Müller settled in Copenhagen as a writer. Influenced by George Byron (especially by his Don Juan ), Paludan-Müller designed his first verse novel Dandserinden . Even here he proves to be a master of satire and irony towards the bourgeois society of Denmark.

Paludan-Müller's work stands between romanticism and realism . If his early work still spreads a life-affirming aesthetic, in the later work Christian-ascetic tendencies gain the upper hand.

Frederik Paludan-Müller died in Copenhagen on December 28, 1876.
