Nikolaj Frederik Severin Grundtvig (September 8, 1783, Udby, Sjælland – September 2, 1872, Copenhagen), most often referred to as simply N.F.S. Grundtvig, was a Danish teacher, writer, poet, philosopher, historian, pastor, and even politician. He is one of the most influential people in Danish history, his philosophy giving rise to a new form of non-aggressive nationalism in Denmark in the last half of the 19th century. He was married three times, the last time in his seventy-sixth year. Grundtvig and his followers, Grundtvigians, are credited with being very influential in the formulation of modern Danish national consciousness. Their attitude is well illustrated in the very different reaction of Danes to their national defeat in 1864 against Prussia versus the national trauma of German defeat in World War I.
