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），丹麦小说家、诗人，文艺评论家布兰代斯所倡导的现实主义的代表作家之一。他具有自然科学的世界观，作品注重写作形式和文体修辞，文字有“醉人的魔力”，具有现代派色彩，其影响已经超越国界，在欧洲文学史上具有重要地位。他的长篇小说《尼尔斯。伦奈》在里尔克和托马斯·曼的作品中留下了深刻印迹。里尔克称他为“精神上的旅伴和情感上的现实”；长篇历史小说《玛丽娅·格鲁卜夫人》则以“神韵的柔媚馥郁以及半透明的色调令人惊叹，堪与荷兰大画家笔下的风景媲美”（茅盾语）。
