Swedish realism is the period in Swedish literature that encompassed the last two decades of the 19th century. It is generally considered to have ended in the 1910s but the exact year is a matter of debate. ==August Strindberg== August Strindberg (1849-1912) was a writer world-famous for his dramas and prose, noted for his exceptional talent and complex intellect.〔Algulin pp.115-132〕〔Gustafson, pp.238-257〕 In 1879 he published ''The Red Room'' (''Röda Rummet''), which brought him immediate fame. ''The Red Room'' was a satirical novel that relentlessly attacked the political, the academic, the philosophical and the religious worlds.〔Algulin pp.115-132〕〔Gustafson, pp.238-257〕 After several harsh disputes, Strindberg left Sweden in 1883. In 1884, he briefly returned to Stockholm to stand trial in a blasphemy case against his collection of short stories ''Married'' (''Giftas''). He was acquitted, but the trial sparked a psychological turmoil that lasted for some 10 years, during which he wrote some of his internationally best known works: the self-examinatory ''Tjänstekvinnans son'' (1886-87), ''En dåres försvarstal'' (1887-87); and also plays ''Fadren'', ''Fröken Julie'' and ''Mäster Olof'' (1886-88).〔Algulin pp.115-132〕〔Gustafson, pp.238-257〕 In 1897 Strindberg engaged himself in occultism, in particular alchemy, leading to a mental breakdown known as his Inferno-crisis. The following year (1897), Strindberg moved back to Sweden and settled in the city Lund. There, he resurrected his literary production by publishing ''Inferno''.〔Algulin pp.115-132〕〔Gustafson, pp.238-257〕 In 1898, Strindberg moved back to Stockholm. He continued writing but also engaged himself energetically in debates in a wide range of subjects. His most notable writings during this period were his dramas, such as ''The Dance of Death'' (1900) and ''A Dream Play'' (1901).〔Algulin pp.115-132〕〔Gustafson, pp.238-257〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Swedish realism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
