Abstract
N. F. S. Grundtvig and Christen Kold traditionally are considered, respectively, as the father of the folk high school idea and its implementer. For many years, the story was that Grundtvig and Kold were substantially of one mind about the form and content of the folk high school. It is only in recent years that Kold's life and work, and his relationship to Grundtvig, became the subject of searching scholarly analysis. This article attempts to provide a revised account of Kold's life, thought and work, and of his undeniable impact on the form and curriculum of the Danish folk high schools, informed by recent scholarly work based on archival sources not available before 1976.
