Kierkegaard’s NB-journals from July 1848 to May 1849 contain autobiographical texts (such as the conversations with King Christian VIII) and philosophical-theological reflections as well as increasingly radical social critique and comments related to his oeuvre. The journals provide an insight into Kierkegaard’s self-reflection on the relationship between the author’s life and martyrdom.
