Prefaceswas the last of four books by Søren Kierkegaard to appear within two weeks in June 1844.Three Upbuilding DiscoursesandPhilosophical Fragmentswere published first, followed byThe Concept of Anxietyand its companion--published on the same day--the comically ironicPrefaces. Presented as a set of prefaces without a book to follow, this work is a satire on literary life in nineteenth-century Copenhagen, a lampoon of Danish Hegelianism, and a prefiguring of Kierkegaard's final collision with Danish Christendom.Shortly after publishingPrefaces, Kierkegaard began to prepareWriting Sampleras a sequel.Writing Samplerconsiders the same themes taken up inPrefacesbut in yet a more ironical and satirical vein. AlthoughWriting Samplerremained unpublished during his lifetime, it is presented here as Kierkegaard originally envisioned it, in the company ofPrefaces.
