520    "Julie Allen utilizes the lives and friendship of the 
       Danish literary critic George Brandes (1842-1927) and the 
       silent film star Asta Nielsen (1881-1972) to explore 
       questions of culture and national identity in early 
       twentieth-century Denmark. Danish culture and politics 
       were influenced in this period by the country's deeply 
       ambivalent relationship with Germany. Brandes and Nielsen,
       both of whom lived and worked in Germany for significant 
       periods of time, were seen as dangerously cosmopolitan by 
       the Danish public, even while they served as international
       cultural ambassadors for the very society that rejected 
       them during their lifetimes. Allen argues that they were 
       the prototypical representatives of a socially liberal and
       culturally modern "Danishness" (Danskhed) that Denmark 
       itself only gradually (and later) grew into. This lively 
       study brings its central characters to life while offering
       an original, thought provoking analysis of the origins and
       permutations of Danish modernism and Danish national 
       identity--issues that continue to be significant in 
       today's multi-ethnic Denmark. Icons of Danish Modernity is
       a book about the uneasy waves that arise when celebrities 
       take on national symbolism, and the beginnings of this 
       formula in the early twentieth century. Julie K. Allen is 
       associate professor of Scandinavian studies at the 
       University of Wisconsin, Madison."Allen weaves a 
       compelling cultural analysis about national identity and 
       its mores. The juxtaposition of the works of Georg Brandes
       and Asta Nielsen is highly original and Allen's 
       contribution offers a much-needed introduction to an 
       English reading audience of these important cultural 
       figures."--Karin Sanders, University of California,
