Meïr Aron Goldschmidt

His meeting with classical Greek culture changed much of his attitude and made him try to balance between Jewish and non-Jewish thoughts.

He sold that in 1840 and in the same year founded the weekly political and satirical Corsaren where, under the cover of different editors, he criticised the king.

As the real editor, he was sentenced to prison and a fined with future censorship on June 7, 1843, in the Supreme Court.

To broaden his horizons culturally and politically, Meïr Aron Goldschmidt visited Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland.

The large novel Hjemløs (1853) deals with the idea of Nemesis and so does the important Arvingen (1865), the first Danish fine literary treatment of divorce.
