商品簡介
Pointing out the relative youth of Danish literature in the context of world literatures, editor Stecher-Hansen (U. of Washington) introduces the subject and discusses her selection of writers. Following are about 50 profiles of up to about 12 pages in length. Like other volumes in the series, the aim is to provide career biographies, tracing the development of each author's canon, presenting expert appraisals of their accomplishments, and placing them in the context of literary history. Each entry includes a photo portrait and some other b&w illustrations. A cumulative index for the series takes up about 80 pages. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
