À propos de l'auteur

Anders Bjorn Drachmann (1860-1935) was a Danish classical philologist, son of the physician Andreas Georg Drachmann, and half-brother of the poet Holger Drachmann. In 1887, Drachmann won a competition for a professorship at the University of Christiania (present-day University of Oslo). He was awarded a PhD in 1891 with his thesis Modern Pindarfortolkning (Modern translation of Pindar, an ancient Greek lyric poet) and in 1892 became an assistant professor at the University of Copenhagen. By 1917, he had attained the rank of ordinary professor. He was president of The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences from 1933-1934. He published a number of works of classical philology and helped to posthumously publish the complete works of Kierkegaard.
