About the author
Born in 1867 and deceased in 1922, he was a Finnish author whose known works include Meidän oikeutemme ja velvollisuutemme (1899), Mietelmiä (1900), the novel Alfrida (1901), the temperance-themed Hillitse himosi ja aukaise silmäsi, and the play Kohtaus kuntakokouksessa.
The surviving bibliographic record suggests a writer interested in both fiction and public questions. His titles point to a mix of moral reflection, social commentary, and dramatic writing, which fits well with the lively literary and civic culture of Finland around the start of the 1900s.
Some basic biographical details are easy to confirm, but fuller personal information appears limited in the sources available here. Even so, his work remains accessible today through library records and digitized editions, helping modern readers discover a lesser-known voice from Finnish literary history.
