Autorenporträt
Herman Bang (1857-1912) was from an aristocratic Danish family. His homosexuality led to a smear campaign against him and his exclusion from Danish literary circles. He worked as a theatre producer and as a journalist, having first tried unsuccessfully to be an actor. His first novel Families Without Hope was banned for obscenity. He specialised in novels about isolated female characters.
