1849 – 1912

Swedish writer, considered a master of early modern century drama for his daringly realistic plays. After an unfinished university education and brief careers as a journalist and librarian, he began writing naturalistic, often satirical fiction and dramas that would earn him recognition as one of Sweden's most important modern authors. Strindberg's plays Miss Julie and The Father, and his later, more mystical dramas A Dream Play and The Ghost Sonata, are still performed today.Show more
