Prefaces was the last of four books by Søren Kierkegaard to appear
within two weeks in June 1844. Three Upbuilding Discourses and
Philosophical Fragments were published first, followed by The Concept
of Anxiety and its companion--published on the same day--the comically
ironic Prefaces. Presented as a set of prefaces without a book to
follow, this work is a satire on literary life in nineteenth-century
Copenhagen, a lampoon of Danish Hegelianism, and a prefiguring of
Kierkegaard's final collision with Danish Christendom. Shortly after
publishing Prefaces, Kierkegaard began to prepare Writing Sampler as a
sequel. Writing Sampler considers the same themes taken up in Prefaces
but in yet a more ironical and satirical vein. Although Writing
Sampler remained unpublished during his lifetime, it is presented here
as Kierkegaard originally envisioned it, in the company of Prefaces.
