Vindrosen (meaning The Compass Card in English) was a Danish modernist cultural and literary magazine existed between 1954 and 1974.

History and profile

Vindrosen was established in 1954[1] as a successor to another cultural magazine Heretica.[2][3] The magazine was published by the leading Danish company Gyldendal in Copenhagen.[4] It focused on literary work.[1] During the 1950s the magazine was under the influence of the writers contributed to Heretica.[2] However, later it abandoned their views[5] and their cold war approach, and began to adopt an emphasize on the third world countries.[2] In addition, it became one of the supporters of modernism and radicalism in the 1960s and 1970s in Denmark.[1] In the 1960s it also featured criticisms of literature and society.[5] The magazine closely collaborated with the paper Information on these issues.[5] Around the 1968 Student Revolution events the magazine was a platform for the young leftist intellectuals.[6]

In the 1950s Peter P. Rohde was the editor of the magazine.[7] Then Klaus Rifbjerg[8] and Villy Sorensen co-edited it.[9] The former served in the post between 1959 and 1963.[10] In the rest of the 1960s Jess Ørnsbo served in the post.[11] Niels Barfoed was also among the editors of Vindrosen.[12]

In 1974 Vindrosen ceased publication.[1][2]
