Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The thesis deals with the early press of 'moral weeklies' in Sweden during the period 1730 to 1773, focussing on media technological conditions and the uses of the epistolary form. This genre, which initially followed the pattern of the English Spectator, emerged in the 1730s with nine journals produced in Stockholm. These were the first periodicals in Sweden that aimed to entertain as well as instruct. The study begins with the aim of finding explanations for their sudden emergence, by looking into the cultural and tech-nological conditions of the period; such as printing, distribution, censorship practices, and potential audiences (chapters 3–6). The fall of autocracy and the rise of an early parlamentarianism provided the background. Stockholm attracted printers and book dealers, and a new generation of literati made careers in the state adminstration. Among these were several of the journals’ editors, as well as potential readers. In the next part (chapters 7–8), the extensive and varied use of the epistolary form in these weeklies is analysed, as serving different purposes. A closer examination and interpretation is made of the epistolary material in Sedolärande Mercurius [Didactic Mercury] (1730-1731), edited by Carl and Edvard Carlsson, and Then Swänska Argus [The Swedish Argus] (1732-1734), edited by Olof Dalin. In Sedolärande Mercurius a number of letters explore the theme of problems with foreign trade; and in Then Swänska Argus satires in epistolary form paint a picture of ideas from abroad posing a threat to social life, and especially to married life. The last part (chapters 9–10) follows these trends further in time, by looking into the uses of the epistolary form in a couple of journals in the latter half of the 18th century: Bref Om Blandade Ämnen [Letters about a variety of subjects] (1754), edited by Carl Christoffer Gjörwell; and Brefwäxling [Letter Exchange] (1772–1773) by Catharina Ahlgren. Brefwäxling in particular differs substantially from the journals in the 1730s, a fact that is discussed in terms of a transition from oral culture to a more literary one, new trends in epistolary rhetoric, and the gender of the narrator. The methods used in the study are archival research and textual analysis.

Probing Pioneer Girl Sleuths : Puck Larsson and Nancy Drew in 1950s Girls' Book Series in Sweden

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In Sweden, girl sleuth series in juvenile fiction appeared as a new phenomenon in the early 1950s. Deducing American influence, I compare the initial novel in the first series originally written in Swedish, Uno Modin’s Puck jagar en skugga (1951) with the first novel about Nancy Drew, Carolyn Keene’s The Secret of the Old Clock, launched in Swedish the year after. The analysis shows that although there are some basic similarities between the heroines, their contexts and agency significantely diverge. Also, whereas the Nancy Drew story is narrated in a fable-like manner, the Puck story has realist traits and a more advanced and ”literary” language. These differences, together with the post-war time context, help explain the immense popularity of the Nancy Drew novels in relation to the Swedish series.
