Summary

Comments on the Danish novel "Two Ages", which contrasts the mentality of the age of the French Revolution with that of the subsequent epoch of rationalism. This title commends the author's shrewdness, and his critique builds on the novel's view of the two generations.

Additional text

"The definitive edition of the Writings. The first volume . . . indicates the scholarly value of the entire series: an introduction setting the work in the context of Kierkegaard's development; a remarkably clear translation; and concluding sections of intelligent notes."
