Reviews for Kierkegaard's Muse: The Mystery of Regine Olsen

“A moving, penetrating insight into one of the greatest and most perplexing love stories in literary history, written with the same scholarly vigilance and imaginative affection that made Garff’s biography of Kierkegaard such a monumental achievement. . . . [G]oes further than any previous attempt to explore and understand the relationship between Regine and Kierkegaard.”—Morten Høi Jensen, Los Angeles Review of Books “Garff is both a punctilious scholar and superb writer.”—Frank Freeman, Commonweal Magazine “A measured, perceptive portrait of Regine Olsen, Kierkegaard’s jilted fiancée, reanimating her not as the philosopher’s immortalized muse but as a living, breathing person.”—Publishers Weekly
