About the author

Born in 1840 and living until 1910, Birger Schöldström was a Swedish publicist, author, and historian. The Swedish Academy describes him as a writer who earned particular recognition for his contributions to bibliography and personhistorical research.

That mix of interests suggests a career shaped not only by storytelling, but also by careful literary and historical documentation. For listeners and readers today, he is a figure connected to the world of books both as a creator and as someone deeply interested in recording the lives and works of others.

His name remained important well after his lifetime through the foundation of the Birger Schöldström Fund, which was transferred to the Swedish Academy in 1960 to support literary and biographical research.
