Presented as a set of prefaces without a book to follow, this work is a satire on literary life in nineteenth-century Copenhagen, a lampoon of Danish Hegelianism, and a prefiguring of Kierkegaard's final collision with Danish Christendom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Shortly after publishing \u003ci\u003ePrefaces\u003c\/i\u003e, Kierkegaard began to prepare \u003ci\u003eWriting Sampler\u003c\/i\u003e as a sequel. \u003ci\u003eWriting Sampler\u003c\/i\u003e considers the same themes taken up in \u003ci\u003ePrefaces\u003c\/i\u003e but in yet a more ironical and satirical vein. Although \u003ci\u003eWriting Sampler\u003c\/i\u003e remained unpublished during his lifetime, it is presented here as Kierkegaard originally envisioned it, in the company of \u003ci\u003ePrefaces\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47609208995991,"sku":"9780691140735","price":5453.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780691140735.webp?v=1775056995","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/prefaces-writing-sampler-9780691140735","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
