Jeppe Aakjær
Jeppe Aakjær was a Danish poet and novelist, described in Chambers Biographical Dictionary as "a leader of the 'Jutland Movement' in Danish literature". A regionalist, much of his writings were about his native Jutland. He was known for writings that reflected his concern for the impoverished and for describing rural existence. He studied in Copenhagen, where he obtained his first jobs in the industry. He was hired, first, as a proofreader, and, second, as a journalist. At the age of 20, he was sent to jail for speaking freely about his concerns, which the local government officials did not care for. Being an outspoken socialist Aakjær joined the Social Democratic Party. He moved to Copenhagen and worked as a proofreader and journalist. From 1907 until his death he lived on his own farm, Jenle, writing both poetry and prose and enjoying a growing popularity. Aakjær's notable novels, including Bondens Søn and Vredens børn, et tyendes saga, reveal his staunch social commitment. The latter is a rural Danish answer to Upton Sinclair's The Jungle and in many ways caused the same effect but on a lesser scale. He also wrote Hvor Bønder bor, Arbejdets Glæde, and Jens Langkniv, about a Danish highwayman becoming a guerrilla fighter against the Germans in the 17th century. Many tales and short stories tell about the humble, bad life of farm boys and grooms and are written with a visceral anger and a fighting spirit. He also wrote some plays, such as Livet paa Hegnsgaard, and a biography on his predecessor, Steen Steensen Blicher
