Tilskueren (Danish: The Spectator) was a monthly cultural and literary magazine published in Copenhagen, Denmark, between 1884 and 1939. It was continuation of another magazine, Det nittende Aarhundrede (Danish: the Nineteenth Century), which was founded by Georg and Edvard Brandes.[1] The subtitle of Tilskueren was Maanedsskrift for Litteratur, Samfundsspørgsmaal og almenfattelige videnskabelige Skildringer (Danish: Monthly for Literature, Public Matters, and Popular Scientific Descriptions).[1]

History and profile

[edit]

Tilskueren was established in 1884.[1][2][3] The founder and first editor was Niels Neergaard, future prime minister of Denmark.[1] The magazine had its headquarters in Copenhagen.[4] Tilskueren significantly influenced the Finnish cultural magazine, Valvoja.[5]

Georg Brandes, Martinus Galschiøt and Johannes Jørgensen were among the contributors.[1][2][6] Johannes Jørgensen who would launch an arts and literary magazine in October 1893, namely Taarnet, published a manifesto on his approach towards symbolism in the magazine[7] in September 1891.[8] Tilskueren also contained the articles by Jørgensen on Charles Baudelaire and Edgar Allan Poe among others.[9] Several short stories by Karen Blixen were first published in the monthly.[10] Tom Kristensen started his career as a literary reviewer and critic in Tilskueren in May 1923.[11] An excerpt from Amalie Skram's first novel, Constance Ring, was published in the magazine in 1885.[12] Paul Gauguin's exhibition in Copenhagen's Frie Udstilling exhibition hall in March 1893 was positively reviewed in the magazine by Karl Madsen.[13]

Valdemar Vedel and Poul Levin served as the editors of the magazine.[1][14] From 1930 to 1939 the magazine was edited by Axel Garde.[1] In 1939 the magazine ceased publication.[1][2][3]
