Baroness Thomasine Christine Gyllembourg-Ehrensvärd (9 November 1773 – 2 July 1856) was a Danish author, born in Copenhagen. Her maiden name was Buntzen. ==Life and writing== She married the famous writer Peter Andreas Heiberg when she was 16 years old. She bore him a son in the following year, the poet and critic Johan Ludvig Heiberg. In 1800, her husband was exiled for political activity and she obtained a divorce, marrying in December 1801 the Swedish Baron Carl Fredrik Ehrensvärd, who was himself a political fugitive, as implicated in the murder in 1792 of Swedish king Gustavus III. Her second husband, who presently adopted the name of Gyllembourg (after his mother, who belonged to the Gyllenborg family), died in 1815. In 1822 she followed her son to Kiel, where he was appointed professor, and in 1825 she returned with him to Copenhagen. In 1827 she first appeared anonymously as an author by publishing the romance ''Familien Polonius (The Polonius Family)'' in her son's newspaper ''Flyvende Post (The Flying Post)''. In 1828 the same journal contained ''Den Magiske Nøgle (The Magic Key)'', which was immediately followed by ''En Hverdags-Historie (An Everyday Story)''. The success of this anonymous work was so great that she adopted the name of "The author of An Everyday Story" until the end of her career. In 1833–1834 she published three volumes of ''Old and New Novels'' followed in 1835–1836 by ''New Stories'' which also consisted of 3 volumes. In 1837 she published two novels, ''Montanus den Yngre (Montanus the Younger)'' and ''Nisida (Ricida)''. ''Een i Alle (One in All)'' was published in 1840, ''Nær og Fjern (Near and Far)'' in 1841, ''En Brevvexling (A Correspondence)'' in 1843, ''Korsveien (The Cross Ways)'' in 1844 and ''To Tidsaldre (Two Ages)'' in 1845. From 1849 to 1851 the Baroness Gyllembourg-Ehrensvärd was engaged in bringing out a library edition of her collected works in twelve volumes. On 2 July 1856 she died in her son's house at Copenhagen. Throughout her life she had preserved the closest reticence on the subject of her authorship, even with her nearest friends, and it was only after her death that her authorship became known to the public. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomasine Christine Gyllembourg-Ehrensvärd」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
