According to JOHAN DE MYLIUS of the Danish Royal Library, Jens Peter Jacobsen was a "poet associated with the so-called 'modern breakthrough' in Danish literature in the 1870s. . . . Jacobsen's immediate importance was his status as the 'writer of his generation.' Jacobsen's breakthrough came already in 1876 with the historical and psychological novel Fru Marie Grubbe," entitled Marie Grubbe in English, "which for the first time in Danish literature presented a profound portrayal of a woman as a creature of instinct and desire and as a being searching for her own identity. The book's defiant individualism asserting human values as opposed to society's judgment was also a sign of modernity."

延斯·彼得·雅科布森（Jens Peter Jacobsen，1847—1885），丹麥小說傢、詩人，文藝評論傢布蘭代斯所倡導的現實主義的代錶作傢之一。他具有自然科學的世界觀，作品注重寫作形式和文體修辭，文字有“醉人的魔力”，具有現代派色彩，其影響已經超越國界，在歐洲文學史上具有重要地位。他的長篇小說《尼爾斯。倫奈》在裏爾剋和托馬斯·曼的作品中留下瞭深刻印跡。裏爾剋稱他為“精神上的旅伴和情感上的現實”；長篇曆史小說《瑪麗婭·格魯蔔夫人》則以“神韻的柔媚馥鬱以及半透明的色調令人驚嘆，堪與荷蘭大畫傢筆下的風景媲美”（茅盾語）。
