Description
This is the first book written for an English language audience on the work of the Finland-Swedish author, Runar Schildt (1888-1925).
Schildt was a highly cosmopolitan writer, who kept a keen eye on the latest continental prose and showed an affinity for the literary decadence that was in fashion around the turn-of-the-century, as well as early modernism.
He worked as a literary critic, a theater director, and a translator, which kept him in touch with the latest literary trends in Europe.
The book posits that Schildt's work bears witness to the turbulent times he lived in: he saw his native Finland transformed from a Grand Duchy of Russia to a republic, against the backdrop of the Russian Revolution and the Finnish Civil War.
Schildt's literary career provides important cultural and historical insights into this significant moment of modern European history.
