The first comprehensive introduction to cover the entire span of Kierkegaard’s authorship.
- Explores how the two strands of his writing—religious discourses and pseudonymous literary creations—influenced each other
- Accompanies the reader chronologically through all the philosopher’s major works, and integrates his writing into his biography
- Employs a unique “how to” approach to help the reader discover individual texts on their own and to help them closely examine Kierkegaard’s language
- Presents the literary strategies employed in Kierkegaard’s work to give the reader insight into subtext
