Vindrosen (meaning The Compass Card in English) was a Danish modernist cultural and literary magazine existed between 1954 and 1974. It was one of the Danish publications which improved the cultural journalism in the country.[1]

History and profile[]

Vindrosen was established in 1954[2] as a successor to another cultural magazine Heretica.[3][4] The magazine was published by the leading Danish company Gyldendal in Copenhagen.[5] It focused on literary work.[2] During the 1950s the magazine was under the influence of the writers contributed to Heretica.[3] However, later it abandoned their views[6] and cold war approach.[3] Instead, Vindrosen began to focus on the third world countries.[3] In addition, it became one of the supporters of modernism and radicalism in the 1960s and 1970s in Denmark.[2] In the 1960s it also featured criticisms of literature and society.[6] The magazine closely collaborated with the paper Information on these issues.[6] Around the 1968 student protests the magazine became a platform for the young leftist intellectuals.[7]

In the 1950s Peter P. Rohde was the editor of the magazine.[8] Then Klaus Rifbjerg[9] and Villy Sorensen co-edited the magazine.[10] The former served in the post between 1959 and 1963.[11] In the rest of the 1960s Jess Ørnsbo served in the post.[12] Niels Barfoed was also among the editors of Vindrosen.[13]

In 1974 Vindrosen ceased publication.[2][3]
