Instead, it focuses on two elements<br>in Hans Christian Andersen’s understanding of life and conception of<br>Christianity: 1) God as loving providence, and 2) the importance of the<br>freedom, endeavours and formation of the human being. It is argued<br>that there is a range of difficulties in the first element – both in Hans<br>Christian Andersen’s thinking and in Kaj Mogensen’s own corresponding<br>approach – that are not sufficiently discussed in the dissertation. It<br>is also argued that Mogensen to some degree underestimates the second<br>element in Andersen’s novels, poems and fairy-tales.</p> ER -
