Famillen H*** av Fredrika Bremer

• Famillen H*** (The H-Family) appeared in the second and third part of Teckningar utur hvardagslifvet (Sketches from Every-day Life), published anonymously in 1830–31. This début was an immediate success and the writer’s identity was soon revealed. Here Fredrika Bremer (1801–1865) presented the reader to a literary landscape previously unknown in Sweden. Ordinary contemporary milieus and characters are unerringly described through a quick prose easily varying from elevated to quiet and humouristic. Alongside of and often in opposition to romanesque conventions this book offered a new kind of realistic account. For the first time Famillen H*** now appeares in a critical edition. The text, based on the first edition, is preceded by an introduction presenting the creation and reception of the novel, and is followed by a commentary.
