A noted Danish poet; born at Korsor, Zealand, Feb. 15, 1764; died in Hamburg, Oct. 3, 1826. He became involved in a great literary feud with Ochlenschlager. His first poetic effort, "Comic Tales" (1785), at once attracted attention; but "The Labyrinth" (1792), afterwards entitled "Wanderings of a Poet", a description of his traveling impressions, equally distinguished for its overflowing humor and finished style, is his most important work, a landmark in Danish prose literature.
