The Story of Kierkegaard’s Fiancée and Schlegel’s Wife), Joakim Garff offers not the solution to this riddle, but rather an account of how Regine herself gradually became caught up in it, despite the strain it placed on her marriage to Frits Schlegel. [...]the book is much more than a biography of a single person or the unraveling of a love triangle; it maps a web of relationships, between Regine and her sister, her husband, her former fiancé, her niece, her brother, her parents, her neighbors, and her society. Suffice it to say that Garff succeeds both at conjuring Regine’s spirit and confirming the impossibility of unraveling the Gordian knot of the entangled emotions and expectations that bound her to her erstwhile fiancé and her husband of half a century. While this book offers marvelous brief analyses of Søren Kierkegaard’s thoughts and works, as well as insightful glimpses into Danish colonial history, its primary accomplishment is its unrelenting focus on Regine herself—as a complete, empowered person who seems to have managed to reconcile, in her own mind at least, her different personas as fiancée, muse, wife, and myth.
