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 Although \u003ci\u003eWriting Sampler\u003c\/i\u003e remained unpublished during his lifetime, it is presented here as Kierkegaard originally envisioned it, in the company of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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sen Kierkegaard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691140731\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691140735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.53d","brand":"Sen Kierkegaard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946945839359,"sku":"9780691140735","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_cd9e60d4-5c76-4afd-929b-6425f0f2642f.jpg?v=1681515852","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kierkegaards-writings-ix-volume-9-sren-kierkegaard-9780691140735","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
