History and profile

Heretica was established in 1948.[2] One of the founders was Thorkild Bjørnvig.[3] It was largely inspired by the British periodical The Criterion by T. S. Eliot.[2] The magazine adopted an anti-ideological humanism approach.[4]

Heretica was produced by the poets who looked for new reality and challenged the conventional ideas of Christianity, humanism and communism.[5] The magazine also covered the poems and writings of promising authors.[4] The contributors of the magazine were called the Heretica School members, who had conservative existentialist views.[1] The magazine was edited by the following Danish writers and poets: Thorkild Bjørnvig (volumes 1-2), Martin A. Hansen and Ole Wivel (volumes 3-4), and Frank Jæger and Tage Skou-Hansen (volumes 5-6).[5] Some of the contributors were Jørgen Gustava Brandt, Benny Andersen, Per Højholt,[2] Paul la Cour and Erik Knudsen.[4] The magazine ended publication in 1953[2] and was succeeded by another magazine, Vindrosen.[5]
