"I soon after contracted a friendship with that great man and first
of geniuses, the "Immortal Shakespeare," and am happy in now having
it in my power to refute the prevailing opinion of his having run
his country for deer-stealing, which is as false as it is disgracing.
The fact is, Sir, that he had contracted
an intimacy with the wife of a country justice near Stratford,
from his having extolled her beauty in a common ballad; and
was unfortunately, by his worship himself, detected in a VERy
awkward situation with her. Shakespeare, to avoid the consequences
of this discoVERy, thought it most prudent to decamp.
This I had from his mouth."
.
The book tells the story of the many re-incarnations which
The Learned Pig can remember, and at the beginning says
that his first recollection is, when he was Romulus. . .
Quirinus was the nickname of Romulus, because he cast
or threw a SPEAR into the Quirinal. Thus we have a second
reference to The Learned Pig being Shakespeare; for he says he was
Romulus,--Romulus was Quirinus,--and Quirinus was Shakespeare!>>

First mention in the diary of Anna Bjerring, a 25-year old teacher

Ålborg, a town in the north of Denmark. On this day, HCA notes that he
has received a letter from "Anna in Aalborg". This wording implies
that
they were already acquainted or had an even greater degree of
familiarity, which indeed seems likely in light of her writing to him
during his stay in England. (The first mention of her in the almanac
is
from 1858, a birthday greeting to him from "Anna in Aalborg"). From
this
time on, a life-long correspondence develops and they meet in person
on
several occasions. There is no doubt that she had strong feelings for
HCA and did what she could to get him. At her death (1902) she took
the
letters from him with her in the grave!
11 August
First meeting with the painter Clara Heinke, who HCA had corresponded

. Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875)
. http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/hcanders.htm
<<Danish writer, famous for his fairy tales, which were not meant
merely
for children but for adults as well. Andersen used frequently
colloquial
style that disguises the sophisticated moral teachings of his tales.
Before achieving success as a playwright and novelist, Andersen was
trained as singer and actor. Many of Andersen's fairy tales depict
characters who gain happiness in life after suffering and conflicts.
'The Ugly Duckling' and 'The Little Mermaid' are Andersen's most
intimate works.
"He now felt glad at having suffered sorrow and trouble, because it
enabled him to enjoy so much better all the pleasure and happiness
around him; for the great swans swam round the new-comer, and stroked
his neck with their beaks, as a welcome." (from 'The Ugly Duckling')
Hans Christian Andersen was born in the slums of Odense. His father,
Hans Andersen, was a poor shoemaker and literate, who believed he was
of
aristocratic origin. Andersen's mother, Anne Marie Andersdatter,
worked
as washerwoman. Although she was uneducated and superstitious, she
opened for his son the world of folklore. Later Andersen depicted her
in his novels and in the story 'Hun duede ikke'. Anne Marie declined
into alcoholism and died in 1833 in a charitable old people's home.
Andersen's half-sister Karen Marie may have worked as a prostitute
for a time; she contacted her famous brother only a few times
before dying in 1846.
Andersen received little education. As a child he was highly
emotional,
suffering all kinds of fears and humiliations because of his tallness
and effeminate interests. Andersen's hysterical attacks of cramps
were falsely diagnosed as epileptic fits. Encouraged by his parents
he composed his own fairy tales and arrange puppet theatre shows.
His father loved literature and took Andersen often to the playhouse.
"My father gratified me in all my wishes," wrote Andersen in The True
Story of My Life (1846). "I possessed his whole heart; he lived for
me.
On Sundays, he made me perspective glasses, theatres, and pictures
which could be changed; he read to me from Holberg's plays and the
Arabian Tales; it was only in such moments as these that I can
remember to have seen him really cheerful, for he never felt
himself happy in his life and as a handicrafts-man."
In 1816 his father died and Andersen was forced to go to work. He was
for a short time apprenticed to a weaver and tailor, and he also
worked
at a tobacco factory. Once his trousers were pulled down when other
workers suspected that he was a girl. At the age of 14 Andersen moved
to Copenhagen to start a career as a singer, dancer or an actor - he
had a beautiful soprano voice. The following three years were full of
hardships although he found supporters who paved his way to the
theatre.
Andersen succeeded in becoming associated with the Royal Theater, but
he
had to leave it when his voice began to change. When he was casually
referred as a poet it changed his plans: "It went through me, body and
soul, and tears filled my eyes. I knew that, from this very moment,
my mind was awake to writing and poetry." He then began to write
plays,
all of which were rejected.
In 1822 Jonas Collin, one of the directors of the Royal Theatre and
an influential government official, gave Andersen a grant to enter
the grammar school at Slagelse. He lived in the home of the school
headmaster Meisling, who was annoyed at the oversensitive student
and tried to harden his character. Other pupils were much younger,
11-year-olds, among whom six years older Andersen was definitely
overgrown. His appearance drew also unvanted attention
- he had a long nose and close-set eyes.
Collin arranged in 1827 a private tuition for Andersen. He gained
admission to Copenhagen University, where he completed his education.
In 1828 Andersen wrote a travel sketch, Fodreise fra Holmens Kanal Til
Østpynten af Amager, a fantastic tale in the style of the German
Romantic writer E.T.A. Hoffmann. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm's Children's
and Household Tales had appeared between 1812 and 1815, but they were
based on original folktales. Andersen's poem 'The Dying Child', was
published in a Copenhagen journal and the Royal Theatre produced in
1829 his musical drama. PHANTASIER OG SKISSER, a collection of poems,
was born when Andersen fell in love with Riborg Voigt, who was
secretly
engaged to the local chemist's son. "She has a lovely, pious face,
quite
child-like, but her eyes looker clever and thoughtful, they were brown
and very vivid," Andersen remembered in The Book of My Life. Riborg
married the chemists's son, Poul Bøving, in 1831. A leather pouch
containing a letter from Riborg was found round Andersen's neck when
he died. Also Edvard, Jonas Collin's son, and Henrik Stempe in
the 1840s were for Andersen other objects of unfulfilled dreams.
"I do wish that I were dead," Andersen said to one of his friends in
1831, expressing not his feelings about his failed love for Riborg but
also echoing the melancholy of Goethe's Werther from The Sorrows of
Young Werther (1774). Andersen never met Goethe, who was still alive
when Andersen made his first journey to Germany. The visit inspired
the
first of his many travel sketches. From 1831 onwards he travelled
widely
in Europe, and remained a passionate traveller all his life. Andersen
wrote sketches about Sweden, Spain, Italy, Portugal, and the Middle
East. During his journeys Andersen met in Paris among others Victor
Hugo, Heinrich Heine, Balzac, & Alexandre Dumas. A Poet's Day Dreams
(1853) Andersen dedicated to Charles Dickens, whom he met in London
in 1847. And in Rome he met the young Norwegian writer Björnson.
As a novelist Andersen made his breakthrough with The Improvisatore
(1835), using Italy as the setting. The story was autobiographical and
depicted a poor boy's integration into society, an Ugly Duckling theme
of self-discovery in which Andersen returned in several of his works.
The book gained international success and during his life it remained
the most widely read of all his works. E.B. Browning wrote warmly to
her future husband of the novel and her last poem was written for
Andersen in 1861, shortly before her death. Only a Fiddler (1837),
Andersen's novel, was attacked by the philosopher Søren Kierkegaard in
his book Af En endnu Levendes Papirer (1838, From the Papers of a
Person
Still Alive, Published Against his Will). "The joyless struggle that
is
Andersen's in real life now repeats itself in his writing," he wrote.
Kierkegaard, the 'Ugly Duckling' of Danish philosophy, used a number
of pseudonyms, none of whom 'agreed' with one another. A little later,
Andersen took his revenge with the play En Comedie i det Grønne
(1840), which included an unpractical philosopher.
Andersen's fame rests on his Fairy Tales and Stories, written between
1835 and 1872. Tales, Told for Children, appeared in a small, cheap
booklet in 1835. In this and following early collections, which were
published in every Christmas, Andersen returned to the stories which
he
had heard as a child, but gradually he started to create his own
tales.
The third volume, published in 1837, contained 'The Little Mermaid'
and
'The Emperor's New Clothes.' Among Andersen's other best known tales
are
'Little Ugly Duckling,' 'The Tinderbox,' 'Little Claus and Big Claus,'
'Princess and the Pea,' 'The Snow Queen,' The Nightingale,' and 'The
Steadfast Tin Soldier.' With these collections, inspired by the great
tradition of the Arabian Nights on the other hand, and Household
Tales,
collected by the brothers Grimm, Andersen became known as the father
of the modern fairytale. Moreover, Andersen's works were original.
Only 12 of his 156 known fairy stories drew on folktales.
Andersen broke new ground in both style and content, and employed the
idioms and constructions of spoken language in a way that was new in
Danish writing. When fairy tales at his time were didactic, he brought
into them ambiguity. Children and misfits often speak truth; they
serve
as Andersen's mouthpiece in moral questions: ""But he has nothing on
at
all," said a little child at last. "Good heavens! listen to the voice
of
an innocent child," said the father, and one whispered to the other
what
the child had said. "But he has nothing on at all," cried at last the
whole people. That made a deep impression upon the emperor, for it
seemed to him that they were right; but he thought to himself, "Now
I must bear up to the end." And the chamberlains walked with still
greater dignity, as if they carried train which did not exist." (from
'The Emperor's New Suit,' 1837) Ugliness of the hero or heroine often
conceals great beauty, which is revealed after misfortunes. In
psychoanalysis this kind of figure is sometimes interpreted as a
symbol
of the inner self of soul, which has to be released from its prison.
Andersen's identification with the unfortunate and outcast made his
tales very compelling. Some of Andersen's tales revealed an optimistic
belief in the triumph of the good, among them 'The Snow Queen' and
'Little Ugly Duckling', and some ended unhappily, like 'The Little
Match Girl.' In 'The Little Mermaid' the author expressed a longing
for ordinary life - he never had such. In the story the youngest of
six mermaid precesses longs after the land above the sea, but the
fulfillment of the dream causes her much pain. "She knew this was
the last evening she would ever see him for whom she had forsaken her
kindred and her home, given up her lovely voice, and daily suffered
unending torment - and he had no idea of it. This was the last night
she would breathe the same air as he, or look upon the deep sea and
the starry blue sky; an everlasting night without thoughts or dreams
waited her, for she had no soul and could not gain one." (trans. L.W.
Kingsland) Andersen's tales were translated throughout Europe, with
four
editions appearing in the UK in 1846 alone. His works influenced among
others Charles Dickens ('A Christmas Carol in Prose,' 'The Chimes,'
'The Cricket on the Hearth.' 'The Haunted Man and the Ghost's
Bargain'),
Willam Thackeray and Oscar Wilde ('The Happy Prince,' 'The Nightingale
and the Rose,' 'The Fisherman and His Soul'), C.S. Lewis, Isak
Dinesen,
P.O. Enquist, whose play, Rainsnakes, was about Andersen, Cees
Noteboom,
and a number of other writers. Elias Bredsdorff has complained in his
book Hans Christian Andersen: The Story of His Life and Work (1975),
that Andersen's tales have been bowdlerized
and sweetened by Victorian British translators.
Andersen's last unfilled love was the Swedish opera singer Jenny Lind,
whom he met first time in 1840. Jenny was the illegitimate daughter of
a schoolmistress. According to her own words, she was at the age of
nine
"a small, ugly, broad-nosed, shy, gauche, altogether undergrown girl".
At eighteen, she had made her breakthrough as a singer with her
powerful
soprano. 'The Ugly Duckling' become Jenny's favorite among Andersen's
stories. However, 'Andersen's 'The Nightingale' is considered a
tribute
to Jenny, or "the Swedish Nightingale" as she was called. "Farewell,"
she wrote him in 1844, "God bless and protect my brother is the
sincere
wish of his affectionate sister, Jenny." Andersen never married.
Between the years 1840 and 1857 Andersen made journeys throughout
Europe, Asia Minor, & Africa, recording his impressions and adventures
in a number of travel books. He wrote and rewrote his memoirs, The
Fairy
Tale of My Life, but the standard edition is generally considered the
1855 edition. During his travels abroad, Andersen was able to be more
relaxed and take more liberties than in Copenhagen, where everybody
knew
him. At the age of sixty-two Andersen went to Paris, where he visited
a brothel - it was not his first visit or last. "Then went suddenly up
into a meat market - one of them was covered with powder; a second,
common; a third, quite the lady. I talked with her, paid twelve francs
and left, without having sinned in deed, though I dare say I did in my
thoughts. She asked me to come back, said I was indeed very innocent
for a man." (from Hans Christian Andersen: The Life of a Storyteller
by Jackie Wullschlager, 2001) Andersen died in his home in Rolighed
on August 4, 1875. Edvard Collin and his wife were later buried with
Andersen. However, their family members moved the Collins' bodies
after some years to the family plot in another cemetery.
