Tove Ditlevsen is an unsentimental observant Danish writer whose poetry is included in the national curriculum, and is well known across Scandinavia, but has remained a relatively obscure writer to English-language readers. In 2019, Penguin Modern Classics translated and published three volumes of her memoirs in paperback. This beautifully designed eight-volume set in black card slipcase includes novels, memoir, and poetry. Scarce set.
