Start your review of The Journals of Kierkegaard. Alexander Dru's introduction and selection I cannot imagine reading through the whole thing-- this pages long beast was an abridged version!
I can find very little on Dr. Dru online, and I do not have too much time to find out much more, but his work here was amazing. And Kierkegaard's journals are even better. I am no existentialist myself, far What. I am no existentialist myself, far from it, but one can see why a personality like Kierkegaard's would come up with such a system particularly in front of such a cold and dead State church as the XIX century Danish one.
Having encountered his philosophical corpus before, meeting the author "face to face" through his most personal and private memories is an incomparable pleasure. The breadth of topics and the bumpy feeling that a journal has are perhaps its only drawbacks, but the immense amount of wisdom and critical "wit", as he would put it, makes up for it. If I undertook it I should certainly runt he danger of coming to grief as I did over my engagement On the other hand it has been made difficult for me to live entirely and peacefully withdrawn in the country, for I am the same somewhat embittered and as a result I need the enchantment of literary composition in order to be able to forget all the crude trivialities of life.

Most people's ideals are great and extraordinary which they never achieve. I am altogether too melancholy to have such ideals.
Other people would laugh at my ideals. For example it is perfectly true to say that my ideal was to marry and simply live for the marriage [! Then, by despairing of being able to achieve so much, I became an author, and perhaps an author of importance. My other ideal is to be a country parson [!!
Many of its admirers will believe that if an examination is conducted microscopically then it is serious science. They capture the unpackaged and unbuttoned Kierkegaard and thus provide a stimulus to anyone intent on understanding a religious author who could well be reckoned a Luther of Lutheranism.
