Joakim Garff is the author of Sren Kierkegaard: A Biography (Princeton) and director of the Sren Kierkegaard Research Centre at the University of Copenhagen.
“A moving, penetrating insight into one of the greatest and most
perplexing love stories in literary history, written with the same
scholarly vigilance and imaginative affection that made Garff’s
biography of Kierkegaard such a monumental achievement. . . .
[G]oes further than any previous attempt to explore and understand
the relationship between Regine and Kierkegaard.”—Morten Høi
Jensen, Los Angeles Review of Books
“Garff is both a punctilious scholar and superb writer.”—Frank
Freeman, Commonweal Magazine
“A measured, perceptive portrait of Regine Olsen, Kierkegaard’s
jilted fiancée, reanimating her not as the philosopher’s
immortalized muse but as a living, breathing person.”—Publishers
Weekly
