In 1722 the first Danish-language theater opened in Copenhagen on Lille Gronnedgrade. Pedar Paars, a 6, 000-line epic poem, is a parody of Virgil's Aeneid that mocks Danish society and the social conditions of its author's day.
His first work of significance was Peder Paars, published under the pen name Hans Mikkelsen in 1719-1720. However, he was now required to teach metaphysics, a subject he disliked, and he avoided lecturing as much as possible. When Holberg returned to Denmark in 1716 he published Introduction til naturensog Copenhagen, a book about natural law and natural rights. In 1714 Holberg traveled to major cities in France, Italy, and the Netherlands using his preferred method of travel: by foot. In the spring of 1706 he travelled, in company with a student named Brix, through London to Oxford, where he studied for two years, gaining his livelihood by giving lessons on the violin and the flute. Because of a lack of funds he had to return home on foot in 1705.Īgain living in Bergen, Holberg saved money by working as a French tutor and supplemented this income by teaching other languages in Kristianland, a city located in the south of Norway.
