Description

Important Swedish novelist and playwright (1849-1912) who takes a place among the most influential figures in the development of modern theater. ALS in Swedish, one page, 5.5 x 8.25, February 24, 1889. Letter to pastor and teacher Frederik Wandall (1849-1917) in Prestoe, replying to an inquiry about intended plays for Strindberg's experimental theatre in Copenhagen, where-because of Swedish censorship-his dramas, including 'Miss Julie,' were staged. The letter was written in Holte, where Strindberg spent the spring of 1889 in the mansion of renowned set designer Waldemar Gyllichs (1836-1895). In fine condition.
