Works

Much of Georg Brandes' production consists of essays and newspaper articles portraying an author or providing criticism on a work of literature. These essays were published in several collections, some essays reappeared in different versions, and different editions of a collection may contain a different set of essays. The author's collected works (Samlede Skrifter, 18 vol., 1899-1910, see below) reprints individual essays, not the previously published collections.

In addition to the following publications and translations, Georg Brandes published numerous newspaper articles, contributed to several books, and edited (with Edvard Brandes) Det nittende Aarhundrede. Maanedsskrift for Literatur og Kritik, Oct 1874-Sept 1877, and Die Litteratur. Samlung illustrierter Einzeldarstellungen, 1904-1908.
