Brandes the Internationalist 
Professor Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 
Dana of the Boston Trade Union College 
spoke of Brandes the Internationalist and 
told of his first meeting with the Danish critic 
in an international club, the Autour du Monde 
near Paris, where Brandes astonished him by 
his appalling familiarity with the language 
and literature of the various nations repre¬ 
sented there. “Brandes’s own greatness,” 
Professor Dana said, “lies in his recognition 
of the greatness of great men no matter what 
their race or creed. Since his birth, February 
4, 1842, just eighty years ago to-day, the 
history of his long life has been the gradual 
spreading of his sympathies until he has be¬ 
come the critic of the widest international 
range in the world. Like a modern viking 
of the spirit Brandes made adventurous voy¬ 
ages into the realms of gold which are the 
various national literatures. From the north 
and the east and the south and the west he 
returned to Denmark with the riches he had 
gathered. He interpreted to his countrymen 
the culture of the rest of Europe. But in in¬ 
terpreting these European civilizations to 
Denmark Brandes has interpreted them to 
hemselves.”
