The success encouraged Andersen’s literary carrier and he wrote five more novels which unfortunately did not do well since Hans was a better playwright than a novelist. Travelling through Italy in 1833 and his own life inspired The Improvisatore (1835), Andersen’s first novel to obtain international acclaim. His first poem The Dying Child was published in the Copenhagen Post a year before his graduation. After seven tough years at school, Andersen graduated from university in 1828. This is probably why his writing style was simplistic with everyday spoken language. However, Andersen never proved to be a good student and was weak at spelling and writing well. Although he was not able to make it to the Royal Theatre without references, Jonas Collins, a director of The Royal Theatre supported him by arranging a scholarship to obtain basic education. Three years later, Hans left for Copenhagen with an ambition to join the Royal Theatre and become a stage artist.
