Studentdikt för tillfället 1660–1699 : Kvantitativa undersökningar av tryckta tillfällesdikter av Värmlandsstudenter vid Uppsala universitet

• Early Modern students were prominent writers of occasional poetry. Of the 330 students matriculated 1660-1699 at Värmlands nation, Uppsala University, a total of 123 are listed as authors in the catalogue of occasional poetry at Uppsala University Library, with 373 poems attributed to them. Using quantitative methods, this study reveals the patterns of writing occasional poetry. The typical author was a reasonably successful student, intent on a career, neither poor nor of independent means. It is clearly shown that publishing occasional verse typically happens after matriculation at Uppsala but before taking up a position in society. The importance of local networks is highlighted. Typically students would return to the region where they grew up. Only a few ascended from a regional to a national context, a fact that is mirrored in the patterns of their production of occasional poetry. Four well-known Swedish authors can be found within the cohort – Petrus Lagerlöf, Olof Hermelin, Torsten Rudeen and Peter Warnmark. This quartet show an atypical publication pattern. Their output is greater, and they continue to write even after their studies are completed.
