What is Kierkegaard's Writings, IX, Volume 9: Prefaces: Writing Sampler about?

__Prefaces__ was the last of four books by Søren Kierkegaard to appear within two weeks in June 1844. __Three Upbuilding Discourses__ and __Philosophical Fragments__ were published first, followed by __The Concept of Anxiety__ and its companion--published on the same day--the comically ironic __Prefaces__. Presented as a set of prefaces without a book to follow, this work is a satire on literary life in nineteenth-century Copenhagen, a lampoon of Danish Hegelianism, and a prefiguring of Kierkegaard's final collision with Danish Christendom. Shortly after publishing __Prefaces__, Kierkegaard began to prepare __Writing Sampler__ as a sequel. __Writing Sampler__ considers the same themes taken up in __Prefaces__ but in yet a more ironical and satirical vein. Although __Writing Sampler__ remained unpublished during his lifetime, it is presented here as Kierkegaard originally envisioned it, in the company of __Prefaces__.
