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]

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