History and profile

Tilskueren was established in 1884.[1][2][3] The founder and first editor was Niels Neergaard, future prime minister of Denmark.[1] The magazine had its headquarters in Copenhagen.[4] Tilskueren significantly influenced the Finnish cultural magazine, Valvoja.[5]

Georg Brandes, Martinus Galschiøt and Johannes Jørgensen were among the contributors.[1][2][6] Johannes Jørgensen who would launch an arts and literary magazine in October 1893, namely Taarnet, published a manifesto on his approach towards symbolism in the magazine.[7] Tilskueren also contained the articles by Jørgensen on Charles Baudelaire and Edgar Allan Poe among others.[8] Several short stories by Karen Blixen were first published in the monthly.[9] Tom Kristensen started his career as a literary reviewer and critic in Tilskueren in May 1923.[10] An excerpt from Amalie Skram's first novel, Constance Ring, was published in the magazine in 1885.[11]

Valdemar Vedel and Poul Levin served as the editors of the magazine.[1][12] From 1930 to 1939 the magazine was edited by Axel Garde.[1] In 1939 the magazine ceased publication.[1][2][3]
