Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Karen Blixen (1885-1962) Danish writer, who mixed in her work supernatural elements, aestheticism, and erotic undertones with an aristocratic view of life. Blixen always emphasized that she was a storyteller (fortaellerske) in the traditional, oral sense of the word. She drew her inspiration from the Bible, the Arabian Nights, the works of Homer, the Icelandic sagas, and the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen, her great countryman. Blixen's stories have inspired such film makers as Orson Welles and Sydney Pollack. She wrote in English and in Danish. 'Are you sure,' she asked, 'that it is God whom you serve?' The Cardinal looked up, met her eyes and smiled very gently. 'That,' he said, 'that, Madame, is a risk which the artists and the priests of this world have to run!' (from 'The Cardinal's Fist Tale') Baroness Karen Blixen was born in Rungsted, Denmark, into a well-to-do patrician family. She was the daughter of Ingeborg Westenholz Dinesen, and the writer and army officer Wilhelm Dinesen, whose adventuresome spirit and storytelling talents influenced deeply Blixen's imagination. She spent her childhood on the family estate in Rungsted. Throughout her life Blixen's outlook and manner were unabashedly aristocratic. At early age, Blixen showed an artistic inclination. She attended the Royal Academy of Art in Copenhagen, and also studied in England, Switzerland, Italy, and France. In 1907 Blixen made her debut as a writer with several short stories. In 1914 she married her cousin Baron Bror Blixen-Finecke, and went with him to Kenya, where they directed coffee plantation. They were divorced in 1921. Blixen ran the plantation by herself but in 1931 she returned to Denmark, after fruitless struggles with mismanagement, drought, and the falling price of coffee. Blixen's years in Kenya are depicted in OUT OF AFRICA (1937) - "I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills." This opening also sets the tone of the autobiobragphy - nostalgic, calm, and stoic. The book ends with a view to the same hills: "The outline of the mountain was slowly smoothed and levelled out by the hand of distance." On the coffee-farm Blixen started to write her first book

Stambaugh's Public Lecture on Danish Writer Karen Blixen/Isak Dinesen CINS is pleased to feature an excellent address delivered in the elegance of the Senate Chamber at the University of Alberta on Wednesday, 28th of October, 1998, before a mixed full house of members of the Danish and general Scandinavian community plus generally interested staff and students. All had been attracted by the "Grand Opening" of the Blixen / Dinesen Exhibition, created by the Karen Blixen Museum in Denmark and made available through the Royal Danish Embassy in Ottawa. It was on loan to the U of A from the 26th of October to the 13th of November. The opening lecture, given by Professor Emeritus Sara Stambaugh, herself a creative writer and Blixen scholar, was so well received that that wider dissemination seemed desirable. CINS invites all visitors to this website to spend a few minutes following the astonishing life story of Karen Blixen, also known as Isak Dinesen. ISAK DINESEN IN AMERICA by SARA STAMBAUGH It's good to see you here, some Danish, some Canadian, and some who are both. I want to begin by thanking the Government of Denmark for providing the exhibition we've just seen. It's yet another example of the special ties that have grown between our countries in recent years. Thank you for letting us share it.

Karen Blixen/Isak Dinesen Biography K aren Blixen remains a complex figure in the writing and history of colonial Africa. Author, storyteller, and early colonizer, she helped to define Africa and its people for the many Europeans who read her novels, chiefly Out of Africa and Shadows on the Grass . Criticism of her work frequently shifts from admiration of her form to outrage at her portrayal of Africans. Karen Blixen's complicated life and work continue to be studied, debated, and questioned in light of both the colonial society she inhabited and the modern reality of a postcolonial world. Karen Blixen in Africa B lixen's marriage proved an unhappy one and resulted in divorce in 1921 as well as a battle with syphilis a few years earlier. Despite this, Blixen found her years in Africa to be her most liberating and challenging. After her divorce, she ran the coffee farm by herself and lived alone, a practice fairly uncommon at the time. She speaks of her years in Africa as a relief from her former life: "Here at long last one was in a position not to give a damn for all conventions, here was a new kind of freedom which until then one had only found in dreams" (29). Blixen found herself outside the Victorian world of Denmark and immersed in the aristocracy of colonial Africa. She earned the coveted status of an early settler-a position that gave her freedom and standing in society life. Her writing of Africa filters through this position of social privilege that enabled her to watch and comment on the natives and the land from a position of authority in the eyes of her time.
