The Copenhagen Trilogy is a series of memoirs by Danish author Tove Ditlevsen.
The first two volumes were translated by Tiina Nunnally and issued in 1985 by the feminist publisher Seal Press, under the title Early Spring.
In 2019 the complete trilogy, with the third part translated by Michael Favala Goldman, was published as three individual books by Penguin Classics in the UK under the titles Childhood, Youth and Dependency.
[4][5][6][7] The Guardian reviewed the series twice, calling it a "mordant, vibrantly confessional autobiographical work".
[8] A second review praised it as "raw and poignant" and compared the memoirs to Janet Frame's autobiographical trilogy An Angel at My Table.
