Swedish Women’s Writing on Export. Tracing Transnational Reception in the Nineteenth Century

While 19th century Sweden may have remained peripheral to world events, Swedish literature was remarkably successful – even decades before the Scandinavian Modern Breakthrough. Several of the most prominent writers in Sweden were women. Using digitized materials, various methods of visualization and theoretical tools, this study reveals a new and fascinating history of the export of Swedish literature.
Five case studies illustrate the rapidly changing conditions of literary transfer during the century, and the central role played by women writers. A chapter on the Romantic poet Julia Nyberg (Euphrosyne) emphasizes the significance of poetry in both translation and reception during the early part of the century. Chapters on the novelists Fredrika Bremer and Emilie Flygare-Carlén highlight new aspects of the transcultural and transmedial dissemination of top-selling writers in the mid- to late 19th century. A chapter on Anne Charlotte Leffler, the premier female playwright of the Modern Breakthrough, explores the complex migration of socially radical dramas written in a minor language. A final chapter examines the various ways in which the neo-romantic prose writer Selma Lagerlöf was put to use in different parts of Europe around 1909 – the year she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

The Triumph of the Swedish Nineteenth-Century Novel in Central and Eastern Europe

The reception of Swedish nineteenth-century novels by women writers is a success story. Two Swedish top-selling novelists in Central and Eastern Europe were Emilie Flygare-Carlén (1807–1892) and Marie Sophie Schwartz (1819–1894). In the mid- and late nineteenth century, their novels were widely circulated in German translations but also translated into other local languages within the Austrian Empire, such as Hungarian, Czech, and Polish. In this pioneering volume, six scholars with expertise in Scandinavian literature and the local Central and Eastern European languages and cultures, explore the remarkable reception of Flygare-Carlén and Schwartz in German, Hungarian, Czech and Polish culture. These studies offer a thorough mapping of the transcultural transmission of Flygare-Carlén’s and Schwartz’ works in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as an expanded discussion on their introduction, reception and literary status in the Czech, Hungarian and Polish literary systems.

Går det att sätta ljus på avantgardets skugga?
Vad är det som kommer bestå i scenkonsthistorien och vilka processer är det som gör att majoriteten av scenkonsthändelserna och de uttryck som de representerar sorteras undan till förmån för en central och mer begränsad utvecklingsberättelse? Teaterhistorien gällande perioden omkring sekelskiftet 1900 är beskriven som perioden när teater blev teaterkonst och de stora (manliga) teaterregissörerna blev de centrala agenterna. Detta konstituerade teateravantgarde har förpassat den ordinarie teatern i skuggan. Detta val som en gång har etablerats tenderar att ärvas utan att i grunden ifrågasättas. […] I forskningsprojektet Brytningspunkter och kontinuitet. Scenkonsternas förändrade roller i samhället 1880–1925 har vi inte fokuserat på den brytpunkt som tidigare forskning har satt i centrum, regissörernas intåg. Istället har vi kunnat upptäcka andra brytpunkter och också se en kontinuitet i historien, att inte allt förändrades genom regissörens tilltagande makt. […] Denna bok är inte är en alternativ teaterhistoria, men exemplen visar på andra historier som kan hämtas ur arkiven. Förhoppningsvis kan vi också smitta läsaren med den upptäckarglädje som arkivforskning kan ge (och samtidigt besvikelse över försvunnet eller aldrig insamlat material).
