Meyer Aron Goldschmidt

Meïr Aron Goldschmidt was born in Vordingborg in 1819, into a Jewish family of merchants, and grew up in Copenhagen. At seventeen he founded a provincial newspaper, then in 1840 a satirical weekly that earned him fines, prison and lifelong censorship. In 1846 he had Kierkegaard mocked for six months in its columns and sold the paper; he then ran a political news review until 1859. Divorced in 1852, he left in 1861 to settle in London, reached Rome in 1863, where he met again a love from his youth, then returned to Denmark. He died in Frederiksberg in 1887.
