N.F.S. Grundtvig 1st edition

N. F. S Grundtvig is not known abroad as a political thinker; it is his educational writings that over the years have attracted international attention. However, he is beyond comparison the person who over the past 150 years has been and continues to be cited in political debates in Denmark.
His ideas and work is the main focus of this title. The author scrutinizes the life and thoughts of democracy, equality and the people of Grundtvig and thus how his notion of freedom is expressed.
Translated by Edward Broadbridge.
