- W198181007 abstract "T'7Tilhelm Dinesen may be chiefly thought of as the father of a W notable daughter, Isak Dinesen, the master storyteller of Out of Africa and Seven Gothic Tales; but Wilhelm Dinesen was significant in his own right for a frequently reprinted collection of hunting letters and a book about the Paris Commune that inspired Nordahl Grieg's Nederlaget, which in turn prompted Brecht's Die Tage der Commune. Georg Brandes devoted two essays to him in Danske personligheder and concluded that no Scandinavian writer offered just his combination of fantasy, faithful observation of nature, eroticism, and ability to tell a tale.2 Boganis, the Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin called him, and he was pleased to publish his hunting letters under that name.3 Osceola, he called his dog, after the famed leader of the Seminoles, and his daughter playfully assumed this nom de plume to make her first tentative appearances as a writer of short stories, and in so doing perhaps provided the first clue to a special affinity with the father. Wilhelm Dinesen was twenty-seven when he came to the United States. He had been a soldier of fortune in two losing wars, and the woman in his life, a cousin named Agnes Frijs, had died of typhus in Italy just before her twentieth birthday. He was both Europamude and sjœlesyg, as he himself put it in 1887 and 1894 respectively. But what, beyond that, would persuade a Danish gentleman to endure the austerities of pioneer life in America? Perhaps Isak Dinesen herself supplies the answer in the story Copenhagen Season which fictionalizes the relationship between Wilhelm and Agnes. You know that we are none of us soft-skinned, and poverty to us holds nothing at all frightening. We have been drawn to the world of splendor irresistibly like moths to the flame not because it was rich, but because its riches were boundless. The quality of boundlessness in any sphere would have drawn us in the same manner.4 Here, perhaps, is the answer to Dinesen's America pilgrimage and his restless ubiquity in this country. When Isak Dinesen made her one and only trip to the United States in 1959 she never got beyond the East Coast, but she wanted" @default.
