[Milton-L] Early reception of PL in Denmark and a more marathon marathon reading suggestion

[James Rovira]

Thanks -- yep, Tanner's was one of the first I read.  Definitely fits
thematically, limited reading of CA (because, of course, he's
primarily concerned with anxiety in innocence), he can only make a
slim argument for applicability (beyond the thematic tie in), and no,
there's no evidence Kierkegaard read PL.  Kierkegaard scholars seem to
say good things about Tanner's work.  Very positive mention in
Marino's essay in the Cambridge Companion to Kierkegaard, for example.
 Pretty much any work that makes Concept of Anxiety clearer in any way
is appreciated.
