Jeppe on the Hill: Or the Transformed Peasant; A Comedy in Five Acts (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Jeppe on the Hill: Or the Transformed Peasant; A Comedy in Five Acts
In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries two great spiritual movements Spread over Europe', the Renais sance and the Reformation. The former was confined principally to southern Europe, and did not influence the life or literature of the Scandinavian countries to any great extent. The Reformation however, caused a new tho brief literary era, especially in Denmark, where the mother tongue was again accorded its proper place, and the people again began to think of a national future.
Much had conspired to make the people of Europe lose faith in the old ideas. Copernicus had demonstrated that, the earth was only a planet in an immense system, and Kepler and Galileo had taught that the earth circled about the sun, and that there was order and regularity in the movements of the heavenly bodies. Finally New ton announced his principle that the law of gravitation governed each and every one of these movements. All this together with the geographical discoveries of Col umbus Magellan, De Gama and others, revolutionized people s ideas of the universe and of the earth.
