Bang, Herman

▪ Danish writer
born , April 21, 1857, island of Als, Den.
died Jan. 29, 1912, Ogden, Utah, U.S.

      novelist who was a major Danish representative of literary Impressionism. His work reflected the profound pessimism of his time.

      Bang was the son of a clergyman. Rejected as an actor in 1877, he became a journalist and critic. His first novel, Håblose slaegter (1880; “Hopeless Generations”), was confiscated as immoral for its depiction of the life of a decadent homosexual writer. Although he also wrote plays, poetry, short stories, and criticism, Bang is best known for his novels, some of which have been translated into English: Ludvigsbakke (1896; Ida Brandt) and De uden faedreland (1906; Denied a Country). The work he did from 1886 to 1890—including a collection of short stories, Stille existenser (1886; “Quiet Existences”), and the novels Stuk (1887; “Stucco”) and Tine (1889)—is considered to be his best. Bang died while on a lecture tour of the United States.
