Heretica was produced by the poets who looked for new reality challenging the conventional ideas of Christianity, humanism and communism. [5] The magazine also covered the poems and writings of promising authors. [4] One of these new writers were Poul Vad who started his literary career in the magazine in 1956. [6] The contributors of the magazine were called the Heretica School members, who had conservative existentialist views. [1] They included Jørgen Gustava Brandt, Benny Andersen, Per Højholt, [2] Paul la Cour and Erik Knudsen. [4]
The magazine was edited by the following Danish writers and poets: Thorkild Bjørnvig (volumes 1-2), [7] Martin A. Hansen and Ole Wivel (volumes 3-4), and Frank Jæger and Tage Skou-Hansen (volumes 5-6). [5]
