<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title>
<jats:p>In this article I offer an English translation of the first two installments of Hans Lassen Martensen’s review of the <jats:italic>New Poems</jats:italic> by Johan Ludvig Heiberg. The review was published in three installments in the periodical <jats:italic>Fædrelandet</jats:italic> in January 10 – 12, 1841. This is the first translation of Martensen’s review into English. I provide an introduction to the text in the foregoing article in this volume of the <jats:italic>Yearbook</jats:italic>, titled “Martensen’s Review of Heiberg’s <jats:italic>New Poems</jats:italic> and the Discussion on Speculative Poetry and the Crisis of the Age.”</jats:p>
