August Strindberg
1849–1912
A fierce, inventive writer who helped reshape modern drama, he moved from sharp naturalistic plays to dreamlike, psychologically daring work. His books and plays often drew straight from his own turbulent life, which gave them unusual intensity.

About the author
Born in Stockholm on January 22, 1849, August Strindberg became one of Sweden’s most important writers and a major force in modern theater. He was astonishingly prolific, producing more than 60 plays as well as novels, short fiction, essays, autobiography, history, and even paintings.
His best-known works include The Father, Miss Julie, Creditors, and the later A Dream Play. Early on he was linked with naturalism, but he kept experimenting and moved toward more symbolic and expressionistic forms, helping open new paths for twentieth-century drama.
Strindberg’s writing was deeply personal and often controversial, shaped by his conflicts, relationships, and changing ideas about society, religion, and art. He died on May 14, 1912, but his work still feels startlingly alive: raw, searching, and unafraid of contradiction.
