In 1848, she published Eine dänische Geschichte (A Danish Story), a story set in Lolland, which also presents exhaustive descriptions of the landscapes of extreme northern Denmark and Iceland. The author, however, was familiar with the Baltic Sea, having been born in Danzig. She might have never travelled to the areas she describes, but she had a profound knowledge of historical, literary and geological texts related to them. She has also undoubtedly been in contact with the Danish colony in Rome and, more particularly, the sculptor Jens Adolph Jerichau and the painter Thorald Lassoe, whom she had met in the Papal State’s capital between 1845 and 1847. The Nordic landscape that she imagines, and that she lets her readers imagine, forms the backdrop of the novel, while becoming the setting of the inexorable revolution of individuals at the end of the 18th century. mer., 01 oct. 2025 11:07:48 +0200 mer., 03 déc. 2025 10:56:04 +0100 https://www.ouvroir.fr/deshima/index.php?id=668
