In this thorough comparative study, Mads Bunch uncovers Dinesen{\textquoteright}s exploration of Kierkegaard and shows how Dinesen in her tales subverts major ideas from Kierkegaard{\textquoteright}s works concerning Christianity, seduction, gender and repetition. Bunch also shows how Dinesen{\textquoteright}s critical engagement with the ideas of Kierkegaard runs throughout her oeuvre and develops from the early tale {\textquoteleft}Carnival{\textquoteright} (1926-27) to {\textquoteleft}The Dreamers{\textquoteright} (1934), {\textquoteleft}The Pearls{\textquoteright} (1942), {\textquoteleft}Babette{\textquoteright}s Feast{\textquoteright} (1950) and her last tale {\textquoteleft}Ehrengard{\textquoteright} (1963). Bunch{\textquoteright}s close readings reveal that Dinesen{\textquoteright}s ironical counter-tales concerning Kierkegaard border at times on sheer parody.",
