Bernhard Severin Ingemann
Bernhard Severin Ingemann (28 May 1789 – 24 February 1862) was a Danish novelist and poet. Biography Ingemann was born in Torkilstrup, on the island of Falster, Denmark. The son of a vicar, he was left fatherless in his youth. While a student at the University of Copenhagen he published his first collection of poems (1811; vol. ii., 1812), which show great influence of German romanticism. Critics describe their sickly sentimentality as reflecting the unhealthy condition of the poet's body and mind at this time. These works were followed by a long allegorical poem, ''De sorte Riddere'' (The Black Knights, 1814), which closed his first period. Then followed six plays, of which the best is considered to be ''Reinald Underbarnet'' (The Miraculous Child Reinald, 1816), and the most popular, ''Blanca'', (1815). In 1817 he published his first prose work, ''De Underjordiske, et bornholmsk Eventyr'' (The Subterranean Ones, a Story of Bornholm), which was followed in 1820 by ''Eve ...
