Sigurd Müller (writer)

Sigurd Hjorth Müller (21 December 1844 – 2 December 1918) was a Danish educator and writer.

He was born in Snedsted. Following his education, he was a teacher, worked for Dagbladet and Morgenbladet, and was a headmaster in Kolding from 1886 to 1901.[1]

He was also a translator, public lecturer, poet, textbook writer, encyclopedic contributor, literary historian and art critic. He was the father of Paul Læssøe Müller.[1]

Sigurd Müller's writing career began purely aesthetically with a collection of Poems (1867), followed in 1872 by the translation: Five Poems of Theocritus and in 1874 Three Tales . Gradually, art history studies occupied him more and more, and the results of these are available in a variety of smaller articles in Dagbladet , Morgenbladet and Ude og Hjemme , in Kortfattet Kunsthistorie (1883), Nyere dansk Malerkunst (1884) and Thorvaldsen , hans Liv og hans Værker (1893). He has also been very active as a schoolbook author, and his Håndbog i den danske Litteratur (1880) and his Kortfattet dansk Litteraturhistorie (1881) were among the most widely used aids in teaching Danish literary history.
