ニルス・ゲーゼ
During the Danish Romantic Period, the motif inspired Jens Baggesen's poem "Agnes fra Holmegaard" (1808) and Adam Oehlenschläger's "Agnete" (1812). Hans Christian Andersen worked the material into the play "Agnete og Havmanden" (1834) which was staged, accompanied the music of Niels Gade, but the show was a flop.
