Slang and cant in Jerome K. Jerome's works : A study
by Olof E. Bosson
About the author
Born in 1871, Olof E. Bosson—also listed in library records as Olof Emanuel Bosson—appears to have been a Swedish literary scholar rather than a prolific popular author. The clearest surviving references connect him with early-20th-century academic work on language and style.
He is best known for Slang and cant in Jerome K. Jerome's works: A study, published in 1911. That book examines the informal, social, and class-marked language in Jerome K. Jerome's writing, showing Bosson's interest in how slang works inside literature rather than just everyday conversation.
Reliable biographical details beyond his birth year are scarce in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to remember him as a specialist scholar whose work preserves an unusually focused look at literary language from his period.
