Hans Christiaan Anderesen ( 1805-1875) : Hans Christian Andersen had humble beginnings. He was born in a one-room house in Odense, Denmark on April 2, 1805. His father was a shoemaker and his mother had been a washerwoman in the houses of the rich before she married Hans' father. A strongly defined class society and a restrictive system of artisan's guilds kept Mr. Andersen senior working at the lowest financial level of his trade in the city. As a "frimester", he belonged to the lowest class of artisans, not allowed into the guilds nor to employ anyone as an assistant. As for the facts about his family, Hans Christian wrote much about them in his "Mit Livs Eventyr", an autobiography. His life story has to be read with a grain of salt because it tends to romanticize and exaggerate in the way his fairy tales would. Researchers have dug up many inaccuracies in his life story. He completely left his half sister Anne-Marie out of it. His mother had three illegitimate children before marrying Hans senior. Anne-Marie was six years older than Hans Christian and lived with his maternal grandmother. She shows up in "The Red Shoes" and "The Girl Who Trod on the Loaf" but in the real world he chose to hide the fact that he had a sister.His father died when Hans was only eleven years old. Young Hans was wasting his time in school, daydreaming about the theater and the stories he would imagine. His mother sent him to work in a tailor's shop and later a tobacco factory to help support the family. Unhappy with these jobs, he left home at the age of fourteen to seek his fortune in Copenhagen. He nearly starved to death trying to earn a living as an artist, actor, dancer and singer. Andersen befriended a theater director who helped him get a scholarship and return to school. Chancellor Jonas Collin, a director of the Royal Theater, noticed Andersen when he was 17. Collin had read one of Hans' plays and saw that the young man had talent. Collin was able to obtain money from the king for Andersen's education. He sent him to a school near Copenhagen where his teacher treated him harshly and teased him about his desire to become a writer. Collin eventually took Hans out of the school and arranged private tutoring in Copenhagen. In 1828, at age 23, Andersen entered university in Copenhagen. Andersen began to be published in Denmark in 1829. In 1833 the king gave him travel money and he spent 16 months travelling through Germany, France, Switzerland and Italy. He always brought a rope along as a fire escape, because he was afraid of fire. As Andersen traveled he wrote many books about his experiences. Andersen wrote plays, novels, poems and travel books. A Poet's Bazaar (1842) and In Sweden (1851) are probably his best known travel books. He wrote one autobiography titled The Fairy Tale of My Life (1855). He wrote three different books about his own life. Some of his plays were big hits in Denmark and Danish children still sing some of his poems set to music. He was surprised that his fairy tales were so popular at home and even abroad. Andersen published 'Fairy Tales for Children' in 1835. These four short stories were written for little Ida Thiele, the daughter of the secretary of the Academy of Art. The public, both adults and children, wanted more. Hans Christian Andersen considered himself ugly all his life. He was tall and thin with a long nose. It was this self-view that inspired "The Ugly Duckling". Andersen proposed to several women during his life and was rejected by all of them. In spite of his lonely life he was able to create some of the most wonderful stories ever written. Andersen died on Aug.4, 1875. Although the official count of stories is 156, and all of them have been translated, many are not familiar to the Danes and relatively few are known outside of Denmark. His best known stories were published between 1835 and 1850. Some are his own creations and others are his re-telling of previously known Danish folk tales. The following are his best known and loved tales: The Tinder Box, Little Claus and Big Claus, The Princess and The Pea, Little Ida's Flowers, Thumbelina, The Travelling Companion, The Little Mermaid, The Emperor's New Clothes, The Steadfast Tin Soldier, The Wild Swans, The Garden of Eden, The Flying Trunk, The Storks, Willie Winkie, The Swineherd, The Buckwheat, The Nightingale, The Top and The Ball, The Ugly Duckling, The Fir Tree, The Snow Queen, The Darning Needle, The Elf Hill, The Red Shoes, The Shepherdess and The Chimney-Sweep, The Little Match Girl, The Shadow, The Old House, The Happy Family and The Shirt Collar. The Swineherd There was once a poor Prince. He possessed a kingdom which, though small, was yet large enough for him to marry on, and married he wished to be. Now it was certainly a little audacious of him to venture to say to the Emperor's daughter, 'Will you marry me?' But he did venture to say so, for his name was known far and wide. There were hundreds of princesses who would gladly have said 'Yes,' but would she say the same? Well, we shall see. On the grave of the Prince's father grew a rose-tree, a very beautiful rose-tree. It only bloomed every five years, and then bore but a single rose, but oh, such a rose! Its scent was so sweet that when you smelt it you forgot all your cares and troubles. And he had also a nightingale which could sing as if all the beautiful melodies in the world were shut up in its little throat. This rose and this nightingale the Princess was to have, and so they were both put into silver caskets and sent to her. The Emperor had them brought to him in the great hall, where the Princess was playing 'Here comes a duke a-riding' with her ladies-in-waiting. And when she caught sight of the big caskets which contained the presents, she clapped her hands for joy. 'If only it were a little pussy cat!' she said. But the rose-tree with the beautiful rose came out. 'But how prettily it is made!' said all the ladies-in-waiting. 'It is more than pretty,' said the Emperor, 'it is charming!' But the Princess felt it, and then she almost began to cry. 'Ugh! Papa,' she said, 'it is not artificial, it is REAL!' 'Ugh!' said all the ladies-in-waiting, 'it is real!' 'Let us see first what is in the other casket before we begin to be angry,' thought the Emperor, and there came out the nightingale.

  • ALEX: Hello and Welcome to Another Episode of the Princess and the Podcast, the Best Hans Christian Andersen Analysis Podcast out There
    ALEX: Hello and welcome to another episode of The Princess and the Podcast, the best Hans Christian Andersen analysis podcast out there. I'm Alex ANA: and I'm Ana. Today we will be talking about Anderson's rocky relationship with royalty through performance and analysis of his tales, "The Princess and the Pea" and "The Emperor's New Clothes". These are two tales that are critical of royalty, which is unusual for Anderson who usually wrote stories which celebrated princes and princesses. ALEX: But before we get to the reading of those two tales, why don't we talk a little bit about Anderson's life and relationship with royalty? ANA: Great idea. Let's start with a bit of background. Anderson grew up poor in the city of Odense, Denmark. His obsession with royalty might have even started at a young age because his father actually believed that they were long lost Royalty. ALEX: Oh, interesting. And yeah, obviously, it remained a theme throughout his life. He surrounded himself with nobility and was always almost ashamed of his poor background, and apparently his rich friends didn't shy away from reminding him of that. ANA: Oh, so that explains why he wrote all these stories like his most famous, "The Little Mermaid". That were sort of royalty positive or lifted up the idea of royalty. But he has as mentioned these two stories that seem to contradict that, which are "The Emperor's New Clothes" and "The Princess and the Pea". ALEX: Yeah, so starting with the Emperor's New Clothes, how does that criticize or make fun of royalty? ANA: Well, to start off, in the story, The emperor is a man who's literally obsessed with clothes and his outfits.

  • Hans Christian Andersen's Use of Anthropomorphismi
    Hans Christian Andersen’s Use of Anthropomorphismi Julia Shore Paludan, Lecturer, Sapienza, University of Rome Abstract The topic of anthropomorphism in Hans Christian Andersen’s tales has been discussed with students in classes in Danish Language and Literature at Sapienza, University of Rome (La Sapienza, Università di Roma) both for the purpose of the translation of his works and for understanding the meanings of the imagery in the studied works. Anthropomorphism is a common theme in many of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales. Andersen’s symbolic use of nature, household objects, trinkets, toys and even birds, is an important theme in many of his works. He bestows human emotions on animate and inanimate objects, such as love and envy, often with an added touch of humour or irony. Andersen conveys issues of often sombre or tragicomic content, sometimes through allegorical tales and myths, that although they are not necessarily easily translatable or culturally transferable, appeal universally to all generations and nationalities. Andersen’s personification of animals also provides a subtle disguise for graver issues such as loss, and the struggle for freedom. The use of anthropomorphism and symbolism also allows younger readers access to complex and universal issues. Introduction The topic of this paper arose from the teaching of Danish language and literature to students at Sapienza University of Rome. Using a number of Andersen’s works, the specific use and meanings of anthropomorphic imagery was introduced and discussed; both as how this imagery could be translated and understood in Italian, and what they evoked through themes such as love, desire and freedom.

  • Bicentenary Literary Adaptations of Hc Andersen
    UDC 821.113.4 Rennesa Jessup Minnesota State University TRAVELING COMPANIONS: BICENTENARY LITERARY ADAPTATIONS OF H. C. ANDERSEN TALES Adaptation is broadly defined, encompassing the re-working of virtually any kind of text into virtually any other kind of text. Moreover, it frequently involves the re-mediation of texts into entirely new forms. Even so, seemingly simple text-to- text adaptation of texts already frequently subject to adaptation can challenge both traditional and theoretical concepts of adaptation. Such was the case with a major Danish literary project undertaken in 2005. Danish State Railways, Dansk statsbaner (DSB) commissioned a series of adaptations of Hans Christian Andersen tales to be published in the DSB onboard magazine Ud & Se [Out & See] to commemorate the two-hundredth anniversary of H. C. Andersen’s birth. Resulting from the project were twelve original stories by twelve Danish authors: Pia Juul, Jan Sonnergaard, Ib Michael, Iselin Hermann, Preben Major Sørensen, Suzanne Brøgger, Bent Vinn Nielsen, Peter Laugesen, Kristian Ditlev Jensen, Lars Frost, Erling Jepsen, and Naja Marie Aidt. Each author adapted a different Andersen work, ranging from classics including “Den grimme ælling” [The Ugly Duckling], “Den lille havfrue” [The Little Mermaid], and “Kejserens nye klæder” [The Emperor’s New Clothes], to more obscure works such as “Dandse, dandse dukke min!” [Dance, Dance, My Doll!]. Issued in book form as Reisekammeraten og andre H. C. Andersen-historier i nye klæder [The Traveling Companion and Other H. C. Andersen Tales in New Clothes] (Copenhagen, 2005), the collection demonstrates a wide range of approaches to adaptation that seem to stretch the definition of adaptation to its limits.

  • An Agnostic Family's Christmas
    Tivoli Gardens and Hans Christian Andersen: A Tale of Confluence Story-based amusement parks and literary playgrounds are now coming into their own as witnessed by the tremendous success of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which is now the most popular attraction at Universal Orland. However, the history of story-based amusement parks can be traced back to 1843 with the opening of Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. Initially intended to function as a “pleasure garden” for the residents of Copenhagen, Tivoli Gardens gradually came to be associated with fairy tales in part because of the influence of Hans Christian Andersen. An examination of this history shows that Tivoli Gardens had an impact on Andersen’s fairy tales while Andersen’s fairy tales had an impact on the development of Tivoli Gardens. In many ways, this is a tale of confluence. The founder of Tivoli Gardens, Georg Carstensen, and Andersen knew each other through business connections, and Andersen followed Carstensen’s plans to build Tivoli Gardens. Andersen took a special interest in Carstensen’s plan to include a Chinese pavilion as one of the attractions. Andersen visited Tivoli Gardens during its first season, and he especially liked the whimsical Chinese pavilion, which was designed by the Danish architect H. C. Stilling. Inspired by this visit, Andersen wrote an original fairy tale titled “The Nightingale.” Andersen set this fairy tale in China, and he used the Tivoli Garden’s Chinese pavilion as the model for the Emperor’s palace. Over the history of Tivoli Gardens, Andersen’s fairy tales became incorporated into the park’s programing and attractions.
