The turning point and achievements of Hans Christian Acderson





                  Hans Christian Anderson


Turing Points:

Encouraged by his mother he composed his own fairy tales and arrange puppet theatre shows.

Andersen found supporters who paved his way to the theatre, succeeded in becoming associated with the Royal Theater,

When he was casually referred as a poet it changed his plans

In 1822, Jonas Collin, gave Andersen a grant to enter the grammar school at Slagelse.

Andersen gained admission to Copenhagen University, where he completed his education.

In 1828 Andersen wrote a travel sketch, 

his journeys Andersen met in Paris among others Victor Hugo, Heinrich Heine, Balzac and Alexandre Dumas. In London he met Charles Dickens in 1847, to whom Andersen dedicated A Poet’s Day Dreams (1853). In Rome he met the young writer Björnson.

Andersen’s fame rests on his Fairy Tales and Stories, written between 1835 and 1872



Achievements:

The Improvisatore (1835) gained international success and during his life it remained the most widely read of all his works.

However, Andersen’s fame rests on his Fairy Tales and Stories, written between 1835 and 1872.

 Andersen broke new ground in both style and content, and employed the idioms and constructions of spoken language in a way that was new in Danish writing.

Andersen’s tales were translated throughout Europe, with four editions appearing in the UK in 1846 alone.
