Malmkjaer (‘Wreaking Havoc: on forgetting the poetry in the Prose.’ In Epstein BJ (ed) Northern Lights: Translation in the Nordic Countries, Peter Lang, Oxford, p. 137–150, 2009) illustrated the concept of local translation–translation of a longer work in which connections between parts of that work are lost because of translational inconsistencies with regard to choices of words and phrases. This chapter pursues and expand on this notion by examining (1) the treatment of Kierkegaard’s concepts of Angest (1844) and Repetition (1843) by the translators Lowrie (S. Kierkegaard: The Concept of Dread. Princeton University Press, Princeton, 1957) and Thomte (S. Kierkegaard: The Concept of Anxiety: A Simple Psychologically Orienting Deliberation on the Dogmatic Issue of Hereditary Sin. Princeton University Press, Princeton, 1980); (2) the use of these concepts by two major Danish literary authors, Tom Kristensen, in the novel Haervaerk (1930), and Peter Hoeg, in the novel De maaske egnede (Borderliners) (2002) and (3) the extent to which the thread so clearly visible in the Danish texts can be seen in the translations into English of these novels.
