Svensk litteraturhistoria

About the author
Hjalmar Forsberg is best known as the co-author, with H. H. Henrikz, of Svensk litteraturhistoria, a Swedish literary history that was used as a teaching text and later preserved through Project Gutenberg. The book presents a wide-ranging overview of Swedish literature and was revised across editions, suggesting it had an ongoing place in literary education.
Reliable sources found in this search identify him chiefly through that work rather than through a detailed standalone author biography. Because of that, only a small amount can be confirmed with confidence here: he wrote in Swedish, collaborated on a substantial literary history, and is associated with the early 1900s through the editions now available online.
