Early Polemical Writings covers the young Kierkegaard's works from
1834 through 1838. His authorship begins, as it was destined to end,
with polemic. Kierkegaard's first published article touches on the
theme of women's emancipation, and the other articles from his student
years deal with freedom of the press. Modern readers can see the seeds
of Kierkegaard's future career these early pieces. In "From the Papers
of One Still Living," his review of Hans Christian Andersen's novel
Only a Fiddler, Kierkegaard rejects the notion that environment is
decisive in determining the fate of genius. He also puts forward his
belief that each person needs a life-view or life for which and by
which to live, a thought he explores further in the comic play The
Battle between the Old and the New Soap-Cellars.
