to death, entitled Adonis. The work of Paludan-Müller, especially Adam Homo in many ways represents the ultimate idealist demands of Danish romanticism. His strong ethic claims and personal isolation has often made him being compared to the philosopher Søren Kierkegaard in spite of their differences. Rather unknown outside Denmark, Paludan-Müller has perhaps however exerted an influence on world literature in that way that the early works of Henrik Ibsen, Brand, Peer Gynt, seem to be influenced by his thoughts. He died on 27 December 1876 and is buried in Asminderød Cemetery in Fredensborg. Translations into English Adam Homo, The Twickenham Press, tr. Stephen I. Klass, 1980.
