About the author

Olof Johan Hultgren (1827–1908) was a Swedish author whose work now survives chiefly through library and digitized book records. Litteraturbanken lists him with those life dates and includes Några anmärkningar vid Herr August Strindbergs "Giftas" (1884), showing that he took part in the lively literary and moral debates of his time.

Catalog records also connect him to historical and social subjects, including Om mordet på Karl XII and Den skånska frälsebondefrågan. Taken together, these titles suggest a writer interested in argument, public questions, and Swedish history rather than fiction alone.

Little biographical detail was readily confirmed beyond his dates and works, so the safest picture is of a 19th-century Swedish man of letters whose books engaged directly with the big disputes and historical issues around him.
