A century and fifteen years ago today, J.B. Hjort was born. Four decades and a year ago yesterday, he passed away.
J.B. Hjort wrote Justismord (Miscarriage of Justice), where he analyzed amongst others the “trials” against Anne Boleyn, King Charles I of England, Queen Marie Antoinette of France, and Prime Minster Selmer of Norway.
J.B. Hjort also wrote Demokrati og statsmakt (Democracy and State Power), where he addressed although being guilty of abuse of the word democracy the need for checks due to the vices of democracy.
He often wrote in Farmand, and he was an active opponent of a government-“developed” language.
