"ANDERSEN, H.C.
Kjærlighed paa Nicolai Taarn eller Hvad siger Parterret. Heroisk Vaudeville i 1 Act. - [ANDERSEN'S THEATRE-DEBUT]
Kjøbenhavn, Reitzel, 1829. First edition of Hans Cristian Andersen's third publication in book form and his first dramatic work. This seminal publication marked his stage-debut and was not only the first work that he wrote for the theatre, but also the first of his works that was performed on the stage. It is with the present work, ""Love in Nicolai Tower"" that Hans Christian Andersen inaugurated his dramatical production, a genre that came to define much of his literary production for the next forty years, over the cause of which he produced about as many plays - i.e. ab. 40. The question as to acceptance from the theatre and the the set-up of the plays, however, -especially at the beginning of his career - would often postpone the actual theatre debut by many months, sometimes years. Thus, many of his early plays were only performed on the stage much later. ""Kjærlighed on Nicolai Taarn"", however, was accepted almost immediately and was performed already the following year, marking his theatre debut.
