Jensen, Johannes Vilhelm I was born on the 20th of January, 1873, in a village in North Jutland, the second son of the district veterinary surgeon, H. Jensen, a descendant on both sides of farmers and craftsmen. In 1893, at the age of twenty, I graduated from the Cathedral School of Viborg, and subsequently studied medicine for three years at the University of Copenhagen. I earned my living by my pen until it became necessary for me to choose between further studies and literature. The grounding in natural sciences which I obtained in the course of my medical studies, including preliminary examinations in botany, zoology, physics, and chemistry, was to become decisive in determining the trend of my literary work. My literary career began near the turn of the century with the publication of Himmerlandshistorier (1898-1910) [Himmerland Stories], comprising a series of tales set in that part of Denmark where I was born. This was followed in the years up to 1944 by «legends» and«myths» representing literary forms I have particularly liked, and of which nine volumes have appeared (Myter, 1907-45 [Myths]). I have also written poetry, a few plays, and many essays, chiefly on anthropology and the philosophy of evolution. For many years I was engaged in journalism, writing articles and chronicles for the daily press without ever joining the staff of any newspaper. Nor have I ever belonged to any political party. After extensive journeys to the East, to Malaya and China, and several visits to the United States, I inspired a change in the Danish literature and press by introducing English and American vigour, which was to replace the then dominant trend of decadent Gallicism. The essence of my literary work is to be found in my collection of poems, which may be regarded as a reaction against the fastidious style of the day bearing

Thit Jensen (1876 - 1957 ) Forfatteren Forfatterskab Historiske romaner Thit Jensens mindestue ... Vigtige årstal Forfatteren Forfatterskab Fra sin tidligste ungdom fik Thit Jensen forståelse for kvindens vanskelige stilling i det mandsdominerede samfund og for tidens mange sociale problemer. Hendes harme vaktes specielt over den uretfærdighed kvinder og børn led og det kommer til udtryk i denne del af hendes forfatterskab der begynder med romanen Martyrium, 1905 og i hendes foredragsvirksomhed. Foredraget: Frivilligt Moderskab holdt hun første gang på opfordring af Dansk Kvindesamfund i 1923. Som barn nr. 4 af en flok på 11 børn, havde hun set, hvor stor en belastning mange børnefødsler kunne være for en kvinde. Hun kæmpede for at ingen kvinde skulle føde flere børn end hun selv ønskede, og aldrig flere, end familiens økonomi kunne bære. Ved at kaste sig over et så kontroversielt emne blev hun hurtigt et yndet offer for datidens karikaturtegnere.

40. Jensen, Johannes V., in full johannes vilhelm jensen (b. Jan. 20, 1873, Farsø, Den.d. Nov. 25, 1950, Copenhagen), Danish novelist, poet, essayist, and writer of many myths, http://www.britannica.com/nobel/micro/302_10.html

Jensen, Johannes V., Nobel Prize for Literature in 1944. Of old peasant stock and the son of a veterinarian, Jensen went to Copenhagen to study medicine but turned to writing. He first made an impression as a writer of tales. These works fall into three groups: tales from the Himmerland, tales from Jensen's travels in the Far East (for which he was called Denmark's Kipling), and more than 100 tales published under the recurrent title Myter ("Myths"). His early writings also include a historical trilogy, Kongens Fald The Fall of the King, 1933), a fictional biography of King Christian II of Denmark. Shortly thereafter, as a result of his travels in the United States, came his Madame d'Ora (1904) and Hjulet (1905; "The Wheel"). In 1906 he published a volume of poems, and late in life he returned to poetry, his Digte, 1901-43 being the result. Jensen then worked on the six novels that are his best known work; they bear the common title Den lange rejse, 6 vol. (1908-22; The Long Journey, 3 vol., 1922-24). This story of the rise of man from the most primitive times to the discovery of America by Columbus exhibits both his imagination and his skill as an amateur anthropologist.
