The last quarter of the 19th century, Holger Drachmann was the most talked about and visible poet in Denmark. He was a poet with a capital D. i.a. because he, who was an unusually tall man, appeared with a sling cloak and artist hat - he was from the beginning a painter and draftsman - and because he never put his light under a bush.

In literature, the lavishly productive Drachmann proved himself in many ways, first and foremost as a lyricist, but also remarkable in other poetic and publicist genres. And he mastered both the popular swing and the most refined mood art, ranging from post-romantic to neo-romantic and giving his as a bold realist. He was in a somewhat abbreviated, but not wrong sense, the poet of the people, the sea, the summer night and the love forest.

He reached far, also fought loudly for and against the political-literary formations of the Fire Age.

Perhaps, in spite of his exploits, he was a weak character and something of an eternal teenager, soon furiously reactive and soon a flower child who had himself and other incurable wounds added along the way; he also wrote on them: both the love affairs and the catastrophes of life were sources of poetry.

That he was not for retainers is seen both in his personal biography and in his literary career.

Biography
Holger Drachmann was the son of an energetic doctor in Copenhagen; he lost his mother (tuberculosis) at the age of 11, but grew up between lively sisters and soon also with a good stepmother and new half-siblings. He did not have that easy of a disciplined life, but was nevertheless drawn through to a matriculation examination. The father was less enthusiastic about his painting dreams, worried about his health (weak lungs) and insecure about his love affairs. Holger Drachmann received an artistic education, especially from the naval painter CF Sørensen, but for the sake of his health was also sent on a longer sea voyage to the Mediterranean in 1867.

In 1871 he was in England to work as a painter, before returning home to Copenhagen and marrying his young fiancé from Bornholm. He was approached by Georg Brandes, whose radical literary lectures the same autumn meant a breakthrough in the spiritual life. And he took up the free artist, literary and bohemian life. During this, his wife slipped away from him.

There followed a series of wandering, but still diligent and now resolutely literary years, with poems and short stories mainly associated with the Fire Circle, albeit with frictions. He searched and found new loves, i.a. a hot passion for a proprietary lady in North Zealand who gave birth to a child and at the same time left him. From this battle he was rescued again when he married his wife's little sister Emmy in 1879. She became cheapest his solid support in a family life through the 1880s.

For good and bad reasons, he broke with the Brandes people during this time. Drachmann's "periods" can to some extent be linked to who was his literary mentor. In the early apprenticeship years, it had been his liberal Danish teacher, literary historian and epigone poet Kristian Arentzen. From 1871, Georg Brandes became his understanding mentor, gradually somewhat countered by the critic's brother Edvard Brandes, who played Drachmann several ugly tricks. The poet then fell back on the Grundtvigian left-wing publicist, the anti-Brandesian Otto Borchsenius, who especially through the 1880s sought to keep Drachmann on fire - nationally, the poet occasionally came right out to the Conservatives' defensive agitation; Borchsenius' literary encouragement and critique were marked by an unfailingly bad judgment.During the same period, Drachmann began to enter as a playwright at the Royal Theater, with varying degrees of success.

Both of these two supports, in critique and theater, as well as the flourishing family life, he now grew tired of in the late 1880s, when a great new infatuation appeared: something as outrageous as a young tribune singer, whom he hailed under the name Edith and soon after its release of the great novel Prescribed - (1890) followed to Hamburg. He rejoined Brandesfløjen and wanted to be young with the young people.

The last dozen years of his life, HD was on the move again - out, where he also reached a longer US visit, and at home, where he often stayed at his old favorite place Skagen. He managed to enter into another unhappy marriage. On his 60th birthday, he was celebrated as the poet of the people at Copenhagen City Hall at a party that became the last major scandal of his life. He died well over a year later, in January 1908; his urn was set down in the dunes at Skagen under a tombstone by JF Willumsen.
