Here Holger Begtrup reinterpreted Grundtvig’s idealistic framework by restricting his Geistesgeschichte to nineteenth-century Denmark, and he thus gave up the immense scope of writing a universal history in line with Grundtvig. Begtrup’s former headmaster Schrøder had loyally taught his students Grundtvig’s Haandbog i Verdens-Historien [Handbook in World History] including literal interpretations of Scripture. However, after the breakthrough of historical criticism, which among other things had questioned the originality and authenticity of Grundtvig’s favourite topics, the Old Testament and the Nordic Sagas, the ambition of writing a universal history could not be maintained among the younger generation of university-trained Grundtvigians.
