Quick Summary

Poetiske skrifter (1805; "Poetic Writings") is a significant work by Adam Gottlob OehlenschlÀger, a leading figure of the Romantic movement in Denmark and considered the great Danish national poet. This collection includes two long cycles of lyric poems and Aladdin, a poetic drama that uses the story's lamp to symbolize intuitive poetic genius. OehlenschlÀger's Poetiske skrifter marked a turning point in Danish literature, breaking from 18th-century traditions after his encounter with Henrik Steffens, who introduced German Romanticism to Denmark. The work embodies a universal, historical, and comparative approach to literature.1
