Nikolaj Frederik Severin Grundtvig (1783-1872) was a theologian, priest, poet, writer and teacher who left an indelible mark on the life and culture of Denmark. A contemporary of Hans Christian Andersen and Sen Kierkegaard, and cited as one of the greatest poets in the Danish language, he left a great legacy which is still felt in public life and cultural activities in Denmark. Niels Lyhne Jensen (1921-2001), lecturer and amanuensis, joined the Nordisk Institute at Aarhus University in 1969, having taught Scandinavian literature at Newcastle University. He wrote numerous articles and books on literary and historical subjects. Edward Broadbridge moved to Denmark in 1967, learning its language and culture. He specialises in translating Grundtvig's works into English.
