''Thekla'' Levinia Andrietta Knös (17 July 1815, Uppsala – 10 March 1880, Växjö), was a Swedish writer, poet and translator.
==Life==
Her parents were the wealthy professor Gustaf Knös (d. 1828) and the literary upper class socialite Alida Maria Olbers, and given the education of accomplishments customary for upper class girls. She and her mother were both important members of the high society life in Uppsala, where they were described as "light beauties, genies of jokes, joy and poetry".〔Thekla L A Knös, urn:sbl:11676, Svenskt biografiskt lexikon (art av Gösta Lundström), hämtad 2015-11-08.〕 Her mother hosted a literary salon, and Knös was raised in an cultivated but extremely sheltered environment in a home "were they, surrounded by flowers and paintings, lived a life which were only if necessary allowed to take presence in reality".〔Thekla L A Knös, urn:sbl:11676, Svenskt biografiskt lexikon (art av Gösta Lundström), hämtad 2015-11-08.〕
Thekla Knös were described as serious and cultivated, but sheltered and ignorant of all practical necessities of life, nervous and depressive, witty and entertaining but oversensitive and mentally fragile. She had many friends among the Swedish cultural elite, notably Fredrika Bremer and Pontus Wikner, and was described as a devoted friend and confidante "who diminished herself in overflowing compassion", and reportedly, she refused to wear the fashionable crinoline because she did not wish to take so much place in the world. In 1870, she was afflicted by a mental illness and placed in a mental asylym in Växjö, where she spent her remaining life until her death ten years later.
