Branner, Hans Christian
(Author)
|
Freudian psychoanalysis, existentialism, and modern humanism are the driving forces in Hans Branner's short stories and novels. While the psychological view of human personality presented in Branner seems simplistic today, his symbolism is intriguing as he describes with great finesse both the erotic awakening of youth and adult sexual relationships
The Story of Borge (1942) is one of Branner's best studies of child psychology. The Riding Master (1947), his most famous novel, prompted a spirited public reaction by Isak Dinesen, who found fundamental fault with Branner's concept of humanism.
