The School for Life
N.F.S. Grundtvig (1783-1872) produced a major body of work in the fields of theology, education, literature, politics, and history. He was also a poet, a hymn-writer, and a translator. In particular, however, it is his educational writings that over the years have attracted international attention from the USA in the west to Japan in the east. In recognition of his influence the European Union called its adult education project the Grundtvig programme. As part of its agenda to digitalise and translate some of this vast output, the Grundtvig Study Centre at the University of Aarhus is pleased to publish this broad selection of Grundtvig's writings on education in a completely new translation. The texts vary in form from poems and songs to articles in periodicals, introductions to books, an open letter to the Norwegians and a private letter to the King of Denmark. These texts, taken together, will provide a solid basis for international scholars without knowledge of Danish to be able to work closely with Grundtvigs ideas on education for the people. The book is accompanied by a CD (MP3 format) with the texts read by Edward Broadbridge and the introductions by Clay Warren.

Christian Flor. Menneskevennen og folkehøjskolemanden
"Det var kun i nogle få år, Flor var præst, og der er sikkert mange af dem, som kendte ham i hans senere leveår, der aldrig har anet, at han har været det. Alligevel blev hans ophold i Tølløse Præstegård af den mest afgørende betydning for hele hans fremtid og derfor også både for den sønderjyske sag og for højskolesagen, til hvilke hans navn er uadskillelig knyttet." Christian Flor var en af de første til at slutte sig til N.F.S. Grundtvigs revolutionerende tanke om at oprette skoler, der skulle oplyse almuen og gøre livet bedre for alle danskere, høj som lav. Han spillede også en stor rolle i bevarelsen af den danske kultur og sprog i Sønderjylland i de lange perioder, h...
