Kierkegaard was in great need of an aggressive editor, he tends to drone on about the same thing over and over.
She also goes pretty deep into the phenomenologists. I learned a great deal about Husserl, who actually turns out to be a pretty interesting character. He demanded great loyalty from his assistants. One female assistant is quoted as saying something like, "I am to stay with him until married, and then I may only accept a man who will be his assistant, and the same holds for the children."
