The Danish Golden Age is primarily seen as a literary and artistic movement within Denmark in the years 1800-1850. It includes many notable Danish writers, poets, and artists. The start of the Danish Golden Age is generally seen as the 1803 Henerik Steffens Lecture in Copenhagen, which inspired Adam Oehlenschläger to write the poem "Golden Horns." The Golden Age is seen as a time when culture flourished amidst Denmark, in a time when it was in the worst economic crisis and had just suffered defeat in the napoleaonic wars and was undergoing an extensive amount of agricultural reforms.
