Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Eighteenth-century Sweden was deeply involved in the process of globalisation: ships leaving Sweden’s central ports exported bar iron that would drive the Industrial Revolution, whilst arriving ships would bring not only exotic goods and commodities to Swedish consumers, but also new ideas and cultural practices with them. At the same time, Sweden was an agricultural country to a large extent governed by self-subsistence, and - for most - wealth was created within this structure. This volume brings together a group of scholars from a range of disciplinary backgrounds who seek to present a more nuanced and elaborated picture of the Swedish cosmopolitan eighteenth century. Together they paint a picture of Sweden that is more like the one eighteenth-century intellectuals imagined, and help to situate Sweden in histories of cosmopolitanism of the wider world.

Blonda själar : Johan Runius, maskulinitet, nation och genre i litteraturhistorien

In: Sjuttonhundratal. - : UiT The Arctic University of Norway. - 1652-4772. ; 15, s. 34-58

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper shows that the historiographical accounts of Johan Runius (1679-1713) remain remarkably stable, from the early stages of national literary history of the nineteenth century to the late twentieth century, despite the radical theoretical shifts taking place during the period. The poet Runius is generally described as an occasional poet, a rhyme virtuoso, a good-tempered man, and as a precursor of the celebrated Carl Michael Bellman, considered a uniquely Swedish genius. These features are connected to nineteenth- and early twentieth-century ideals of masculinity and the nation. Whereas Runius in the early nineteenth century was described as childish, during the later nineteenth century his good temper was interpreted as an ideal, steadfast masculinity in the face of the hardships of early eighteenth-century Sweden. Further, the historiographical tradition set greater store by poems defined as lyrical. The hailed poems were, in fact, occasional poems, but they were recontextualised by the literary historians as proof of Runius' personal feelings. The article ends with new suggestions for reading Runius beyond the nation as the ordering principle of literary history.

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In 1737, Carl Carlsson (Carleson) edited a volume of Swedish poetry, the first of its kind, with the revealing title: “Attempt at the Improvement of Swedish Poetry,” in Swedish “Försök til Swänska Skalde-Konstens uphielpande.” In his introduction to the reader, Carlsson specifically mentions one of the poets included in the collection, Samuel Triewald: “A Swedish Poet has quite enjoy-ably painted and sharply refuted our verse-mongers , just as a certain Boileau did in France [...].”1 Already in 1737, Triewald gained the title “the Swedish Boileau,” and the designation has been repeated by most literary historians since.2 Boileau’s presence does suggest some connection between the famous Quarrel of the Ancients and the Moderns and the Swedish anthology of 1737. Whereas Carlsson used Boileau, one of the leading Ancients, as an authority strengthening his defense of good poetry, and as a praiseworthy model for Triewald, the French critic’s function within the Swedish literary context of the early eighteenth century remains somewhat obscure. Indeed, Carlsson’s eager appeal for the improvement of Swedish poetry rather seems to imply poetics aligned with the Modern camp.

"I känslofulla sköna!" Bengt Lidner, Göttingen och den kvinnliga läsaren [The emotional beauty!]
- 2014

In: European Journal of Scandinavian Studies. - : De Gruyter. - 2191-9399 .- 2191-9402. ; 44:2, s. 299-316

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Swedish poet Bengt Lidner (1757‒1793) studied in Göttingen in 1780‒1781. A spatial analysis of the poet’s global biography and his poetical geography points to Enlightenment universalism as well as to the poetical ideals expressed in Göttingen – the Göttinger Hain, Göttinger Musenalmanach, and the teachings of Professor Christian Gottlob Heyne. Even Lidner’s opera libretto Medea displays connections to Göttingen, through Heyne’s focus on Greek tragedy and Lidner’s expressed source of inspiration, Friedrich Wilhelm Gotter. However, Lidner’s transcultural poetry failed in the Swedish context, lacking a proper literary market. In an attempt to create an audience in Stockholm, Lidner turned to female readers in his forewords and other paratexts. In fact, Lidner transformed the Medea character into a representation of his female Swedish reader, the ideal mother and spouse. The spatial analysis, including space both literally and in an imaginary sense, leads to the conclusion that Lidner’s sentimental mode of writing displayed transcultural traits interacting with – and even colliding with – local conditions
