The rare first edition, here with a most interesting presentation-inscription to her publisher, of Ditlevsen’s seminal debut publication. Allegedly, she only gave away ten presentation copies of her debut publication, making them of the utmost scarcity. Tom Smidth (1887 - 1942) was a Danish author and poet. Ditlevsen gave him the present copy just two year before he passed away and in 1944 she wrote in the Danish newpaper Politiken a most loving review of Smidth's famous ""Vild-Hvede"" The collection consists in 32 poems that range widely from the broodingly sad, over deeply unhappy to the almost cheerful. They represent the mind of a young girl and what goes on in it, a young girl whose life was to be marked by anxiety, drug addiction, and repeated suicide attempts. Ditlevsen is considered one of the most important and unique voices in twentieth-century Danish literature and many of the themes she touches upon ring a universal bell. Her works are particularly valuable as they dramatize the consequences of locking women into marriage, into the roles of wife and mother. Ditlevsen's writing has had a lasting impact upon Danish literature, and her works continue to be read and studied for their candid and emotional exploration of the human condition. Her life and writing remain highly important subject matters for those interested in Scandinavian literature and the confessional literary tradition. In 2021, The New York Times, The New Yorker, and The Guardian elected Tove Ditlevesen's recently translated ""The Copenhagen Trilogy” as book of the year and celebrated Ditlevsen as one of the most important authors in 20th century literature.

First edition, with author’s presentation inscription, of Ditlevsen’s magnum opus, perhaps her most read and beloved book. Ditlevsen is considered one of the most important and unique voices in twentieth-century Danish literature and many of the themes she touches upon rings a universal bell. Her works are particularly valuable as they dramatize the consequences of locking women into marriage, into the roles of wife and mother. A main theme in Ditlevsen’s authorship is class, but despite the proletarian milieu, the theme in Barndommens Gade is more that of gender. “The narrator shows solidarity in her account of a working-class childhood, but she nevertheless lets the central character judge the milieu from the perspective of middle-class values. This is especially true of the outspoken and brutal attitude to sexuality – which the narrator calls “unclean” – on the street and in the backyard. “Rough hands grope the body and bare it to the fleeing gaze.” When menstruation sets in, the “uncleanliness” enters the child’s world: “one morning, the mothers’ bloody inheritance comes with shame and harm to the untouched”."" (Lise Busk-Jensen, The Labyrinth of Memory) In 2021, The New York Times, The New Yorker and The Guardian elected Tove Ditlevesen's recently translated ""The Copenhagen Trilogy” as book of the year and celebrated Ditlevsen as one of the most important authors in 20th century literature. The book was made into a film in 1986 under title “Early Spring”.
