Danish author and poet Steen Steensen Blicher had written the novella “Alas, How Changed!”, one of the most pessimistic of his early prose works, in 1828.

Blicher continues as Denmark’s sole representative of bleak realism with “The Parson at Vejlbye,” drawing on his own experiences as a country parson.

Steen Steensen Blicher publishes what will soon become his most celebrated prose work, an amalgam of tales entitled The Knitting Room, written in Denmark's Jutland dialect and full of verse and anecdotes, in 1842.
