A Swedish poet; born at Stockholm, 1862. He first wrote some stories after the manner of the "realists", but they had little success. Breaking then with realism, he indulged his bent toward romance and mysticism in his poems "Legends and Tales" (1891), and "New Poems" (1894). He is at the head of the younger lyric poets of Sweden. In his work "Gustavus III. as a Dramatist" (1894), he proves himself an acute critic of 18th-century literature.
