Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The maiden voyage of the Vaterland was notable not only for its successful marketing tactics, albeit soon made redundant by the outbreak of World War I,2 but also as a time capsule for the final years of Europe's belle epoque, during which Brandes and Nielsen, at the height of theH respective international reputations, appeared together as the preeminent, fashionable representatives of Danish culture in the European public sphere. [...] examining the disjunction between European and Danish perceptions of Brandes and Nielsen Hi this period offers valuable insights into competing discourses regarding the nature of Danish national identity in the early twentieth century.
