Into the Isle of Self : Nietzschean Patterns and Contrasts in D. H. Lawrence's The Trespasser
- 1996
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This thesis is based on a close reading of Lawrence's novel The Trespasser from a Nietzschean point of view. By adopting this perspective it aims at giving the novel the sense of unity it has so far been alleged to lack. The analysis is preceded by a detailed discussion of the concept of literary influence. Since the purpose of this study is to illuminate what is unique in Lawrence's novel rather than to claim any derivative use of Nietzsche's thought, the focus is on Lawrence's transformative and dynamic way of adopting Nietzschean themes in his novel. The Trespasser is read in its Edwardian context, with particular attention to the response that Nietzsche's philosophy met with 1900-1910. A separate section is devoted to the presentation of him in the Socialist weekly The New Age in 1908-09. The analysis of The Trespasser is conducted along two partly related lines of thought: the Apollonian-Dionysian dichotomy as it is presented by Nietzsche in The Birth of Tragedy, and the process towards a Dionysian awareness that is put forward in Thus Spoke Zarathustra. As is pointed out in chapter three, the Apollonian-Dionysian contrast is reflected chiefly in the characterization, setting, symbolism, and to some degree also in the action of the novel. In chapter four the actual progression of the plot is dealt with in terms of a Zarathustran journey and the light symbolism associated with it. Moreover, some of Lawrence's early poems are discussed in connection with Nietzschean parallels found in The Trespasser, with a view to emphasizing the pervasive influence of Nietzsche's ideas on the young Lawrence.

'|Y]oung Hamlet' : Shakespeare for Swedish Children
- 2023

In: Critical Survey. - Oxford : Berghahn Books. - 0011-1570 .- 1752-2293. ; 35:4, s. 94-112

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Shakespeare’s Hamlet has been retold in children’s versions several times in Sweden in recent years. It was the subject of the first episode of the children’s television programme På teatern [At the Theatre], written and directed by Christina Nilsson for SVT in 2001–2002, where Shakespearean actors meet their child or grandchild backstage after a performance to tell and partly enact the story of the play. In 2005–2006, Lotta Grut wrote the plays Lille Hamlett och spöket [Little Hamlett and the Ghost] and Offelia kom igen! [Offelia Come Again!] for the theatre company Unga Roma. In these fairy-tale versions, the children Hamlet and Ophelia are confronted with death, grief, anger, oppression and erasure. This article argues that the På teatern episode is an adaptation of Hamlet while Grut’s two plays are appropriations. © 2023 Berghahn Books

Fiction, hierarchy and the hard life at sea : Fiction as a source to Swedish maritime history
- 2014
-
In: Historisk Tidskrift. - : Svenska historiska föreningen. - 0345-469X .- 2002-4827. ; 134:3, s. 462-498
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article evaluates the use of fiction as a source to historical research, using portraits of life at sea during the interwar period in a selected number of novels as a test case. The novels, all written between 1924 and 1941, where highly regarded in their own time but are now mostly forgotten works. They belong to the genre of working class literature, and were very influential during the interwar period. Instead of assuming that fiction is simply a mirror of societal practices and norms, fiction is viewed as being engaged in dialogue with society, with both parts influencing each other. The result of the study indicates that fiction can indeed be used as a fruitful and reliable source for understanding what life was like at sea (and in port) during the interwar period. Fiction gives access to the rationale of individual thoughts, choices and actions, while (fictional) descriptions of interiors and exteriors, milieus, working conditions, skills etc. provide an important framing to portraits of life at sea.

Myt och metall. Värdemodeller i litteratur och ekonomisk prosa under tidigt 1800-tal

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Money and myths: An exploration of models of value in early 19th-century literature and texts on economy (Myt och metall. Värdemodeller i litteratur och ekonomisk prosa under tidigt 1800-tal)The main aim of this paper is to show how the concept of money could be treated in literary and in economic writings in the Swedish Age of Romanticism. Three texts — an early poem by Erik Johan Stagnelius and two contemporary essays in economic theory — serve as examples of how, and for which purpose, qualitative and quantitative values could be negotiated in these writings. The study shows that, in the poem, money and profit are treated as inconsistent with such qualitative values as freedom, justice, and joy, whereas the two theoretical essays both make use of different strategies of fictionalization to deal with qualitative and quantitative values in one and the same narration. In this paper, the fictionalization strategies are linked to the para-capitalist approach often to be found in the political and economic theories in the Romantic period. From the perspective of economy-discourse history, an attempt is made to link the two essays to the German economist and philosopher Adam Müller and his Versuche einer neuen Theorie des Geldes (1816).
