Frantz Leander Hansen is a Master of Arts in Literature and employed at The Karen Blixen Museum, Denmark. He teaches and gives lectures at various academic establishments in Denmark.
From a review of the Danish edition: "Original and essential...
exquisite and noble, Babette and the Aristocratic Universe is
simply one of the best all-round presentations of Karen Blixen's
work." --Professor S�ren Schou, Weekendavisen
"A philosophical center gives weight to the author's
investigations. An international world of reference is also amply
demonstrated in connections to the Bible, the Koran, Tristram
Shandy, E.T.A. Hoffmann, Wuthering Heights, Crime and Punishment,
Heart of Darkness, and Joyce's story "The Dead..". The discussions
of "Babette's Feast" are especially informative... Highly
recommended." --Choice
"Extremely interesting . . . excellent . . . A 'must read' for
anyone planning a foray into Blixen scholarship." --Professor Susan
Brantly, Scandinavian Studies
"This book offers both fresh and original viewpoints, and provides
new aspects for further reflection." --Annelies van Hees,
University of Amsterdam, author of The Ambivalent Venus: Women in
Isak Dinesen's Tales, TijdSchrift voor Skandinavistiek
