History and profile

Vindrosen was established in 1954 [1] [2] as a successor to another cultural magazine Heretica . [3] [4] The magazine was published by the leading Danish company Gyldendal in Copenhagen. [5]

The focus of Vindrosen was on literary work. [2] During the 1950s the magazine was under the influence of the writers contributed to Heretica. [3] However, later it abandoned their views [6] and cold war approach. [3] Instead, Vindrosen began to focus on the third world countries. [3] In addition, it became one of the supporters of modernism and radicalism in the 1960s and 1970s in Denmark. [2] In the 1960s like other Scandinavian literary magazines Vindrosen adopted the eclectic thinking. [7] During the same period it also featured criticisms of literature and society. [6] The magazine closely collaborated with the newspaper Information on these issues. [6] Around the 1968 student protests the magazine functioned as a platform for the young leftist intellectuals who edited it. [7] In 1974 Vindrosen ceased publication. [2] [3]

Editors and contributors

In the 1950s Peter P. Rohde was the editor of the magazine. [8] Then Klaus Rifbjerg [9] and Villy Sorensen co-edited the magazine. [10] The former served in the post between 1959 and 1963. [11] In the rest of the 1960s Jess Ørnsbo served in the post. [12] Niels Barfoed was also among the editors of Vindrosen. [13]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">De Gyldne Laurbær</span>

De Gyldne Laurbær is a Danish literature award, which was established in 1949. The award is handed by The Committee De Gyldne Laurbær, formerly Boghandlerklubben. The prize is given annually in February or March. Originally the award was a laurel wreath, a golden pin with an inscription, some money and a book gift worth 2500 DKK. Today the award is a laurel wreathe, a diploma and a book gift worth 2500 DKK. The award is handed at a ceremony arranged by the publishing house which has published the winning book and by the Committee De Gyldne Laurbær. Early in January every year the committee sends out ballot to all the Danish bookshops, which then give their vote for a Danish book which was published the year before. An author can only win The Golden Laurel once-in-a-lifetime, so the bookshops can not vote for an author who has already won the prize once before. The winner is usually one of the bestsellers among the Danish books. On the day when it is decided who wins the Golden Laurel, the president of the Committee of The Golden Laurel informs the winner about the award, while journalists follow the event.
