Jacobsen, Jens Peter

▪ Danish author
born April 7, 1847, Thisted, Jutland, Denmark
died April 30, 1885, Thisted
 Danish novelist and poet who inaugurated the Naturalist (naturalism) mode of fiction in Denmark and was himself its most famous representative.

      The son of a Jutland merchant, Jacobsen was a student of the natural sciences. He became a follower of Charles Darwin (Darwin, Charles) and translated into Danish both On the Origin of Species, in 1871–73, and The Descent of Man, in 1874. His own literary work was limited to two novels, some short stories, and a few poems.

      He struggled for his last 12 years with tuberculosis until it overcame him. During those years he produced almost all of his works in slow and painful daily stints. He was a master of description, attempting to portray all facets of reality as meticulously as he had observed them in nature.

      While at the University of Copenhagen, he heard the lectures of Georg Brandes (Brandes, Georg), an advocate of realism, naturalism, and socially conscious art. Jacobsen's novella Mogens (1872; Eng. trans. in Mogens and Other Stories), whose protagonist's name gives the book its title, is considered the first Naturalist writing in Danish literature and was greatly admired by Brandes, who hailed Jacobsen as one of “the men of the modern breakthrough.” Jacobsen's first novel, Fru Marie Grubbe (1876; Marie Grubbe: A Lady of the Seventeenth Century), is a psychological study of a 17th-century woman whose natural instincts are stronger than her social instincts and result in her descent on the social scale from a viceroy's consort to the wife of a ferryman. The book was attacked by the conservative press for its crass realism. Niels Lyhne (1880; Eng. trans. Niels Lyhne), his second novel, is a contemporary story of a man's vain struggle to acquire a philosophy of life. The intensity of its atmosphere and the depth of its psychology interested Sigmund Freud (Freud, Sigmund) and Thomas Mann (Mann, Thomas), among others, but its lack of ideological progressiveness was a disappointment to Georg Brandes (Brandes, Georg). Jacobsen's poems were collected and published posthumously in Digte og udkast (1886; “Poems and Sketches,” partially translated into English as Poems [1920]). At the turn of the 20th century, his writings and exquisite style exerted a spellbinding influence upon a great number of writers both in Denmark and abroad. Among his most ardent worshipers were such poets as Stefan George (George, Stefan) and Rainer Maria Rilke (Rilke, Rainer Maria).
