About the author
Born in Stockholm in 1849, August Strindberg was a Swedish playwright, novelist, poet, essayist, and painter. After working as an actor, journalist, and librarian, he established himself as a writer with The Red Room (1879), a satirical novel that brought him fame in Sweden.
Strindberg’s plays often explore conflict between the sexes, social class, and the pressures of convention. The Father (1887) and Miss Julie (1888) became important examples of naturalistic drama, while later works such as A Dream Play pushed toward expressionism and more experimental theatrical forms.
His interests ranged widely, from Swedish history and social criticism to painting, mysticism, and the occult. A prolific and often controversial figure, he produced more than sixty plays and many works of fiction and nonfiction before his death in Stockholm in 1912.
