'Johan August Strindberg', L'Oeuvre. 1927 from George Freedley and John Reeves. A History of the Theatre. Johan August Strindberg 3rd edition, 1968 Destiny did not pamper Strindberg. His birth was humble; his childhood, wretched; his character, neurotic and unstable in the extreme. His career was beset with dis­ appointments and frustrations which would have broken a less resi lient nature. In his youth he could not find the money with which to complete his education, and all his life he struggled with poverty... Physically he was not brave; he was, indeed, neurot­ ically fearful. yet his language was bold, and he constantly provoked aggression. In consequence, he spent a good deal of his time in terror of reprisals. Aggressive as he was, it is clear that his will to power was not as decisive an influence on his life as his will to suffer; he received the manifold indig­ nities which life showered upon him as his just meed, and the measure of his success. - Mauroce Valency.

  • The Progressive Savage À La Fin De Siècle
    The Progressive Savage à la Fin de Siècle Peter Stadius In considering images of the North, I wish to develop a case that exemplifies the versatility of latent images of the Scandinavian North. I will look briefly at some Continental assessments of two of the most prominent Scandinavian intellectual figures around 1900, August Strindberg and Henrik Ibsen, and point to how they were viewed in terms of the traditional and stereotypical images of the North and its people. The Nordic condition of semi-otherness as seen from a Continental perspective produces tension between the self and the other, resulting in ambiguity – and an oscillation between the approbation and rejection of all things Nordic. When new artistic influences reached Paris in the early 1890s, it was above all Russian novelists, German philosophers, and Scandinavian playwrights who drew the most attention. Henrik Ibsen was without doubt the single most important name on the Scandinavian horizon, but he also paved the way for others, amongst them Strindberg. Ibsen, and even more so Strind- berg, were considered radicals in their respective home countries in their own lifetime, but as representatives of Scandinavian drama they were to be studied as archetypes of their own culture and region. In reviewing certain plays, critics would refer to the faculties of the Scandinavian race or to the influence of the Nordic climate on its inhabitants. Thus even a discussion of staging techniques and new drama around 1900 would include many of the topics detected in imagological studies of the North and the Nordic region. Two factors stand out when examining how Ibsen and Strindberg were absorbed into a cultural construction of Scandinavia.

  • Stockholm's Archipelago and Strindberg's
    Scandinavica Vol 52 No 2 2013 Stockholm’s Archipelago and Strindberg’s: Historical Reality and Modern Myth-Making Massimo Ciaravolo University of Florence Abstract The Stockholm Archipelago is ubiquitous in the prose, poetry, drama and non-fiction of August Strindberg. This article examines the interaction in Strindberg’s oeuvre between the city of Stockholm as civilized space and the wild space surrounding it, tracing the development of a literary myth of Eden in his work. Strindberg’s representations of the shifting relations between city and nature, it is argued, played (and still play) an important role in the cultural construction of mythologies of the loss of the wild space. The environments described in Strindberg’s texts are subject to changes, shifts and repetitions with variations, such that the archipelago in itself can be read as a mirror of the polyphony of points of view, the variability and the ambiguities we find in his oeuvre at large. Keywords August Strindberg, Stockholm Archipelago, city in literature, nature in literature, mythologies 52 Scandinavica Vol 52 No 2 2013 August Strindberg’s home town of Stockholm, together with its wilder counterpart, the archipelago or skärgård (literally meaning group, or circle, of islands and skerries), plays a large part in Strindberg’s literary universe as well as in his life. The archipelago is ubiquitous in his oeuvre; it occurs in prose as well as in poetry and in drama, and it characterizes both fiction, autobiography and non-fiction (essays, letters and diaries). It can sometimes provide the setting to whole works, but in a series of other works it can be included as one of the settings, or even be mentioned peripherally.

  • Miss Julie by August Strindberg
    MTC Education Teachers’ Notes 2016 Miss Julie by August Strindberg – PART A – 16 April – 21 May Southbank Theatre, The Sumner Notes prepared by Meg Upton 1 Teachers’ Notes for Miss Julie PART A – CONTEXTS AND CONVERSATIONS Theatre can be defined as a performative art form, culturally situated, ephemeral and temporary in nature, presented to an audience in a particular time, particular cultural context and in a particular location – Anthony Jackson (2007). Because theatre is an ephemeral art form – here in one moment, gone in the next – and contemporary theatre making has become more complex, Part A of the Miss Julie Teachers’ Notes offers teachers and students a rich and detailed introduction to the play in order to prepare for seeing the MTC production – possibly only once. Welcome to our new two-part Teachers’ Notes. In this first part of the resource we offer you ways to think about the world of the play, playwright, structure, theatrical styles, stagecraft, contexts – historical, cultural, social, philosophical, and political, characters, and previous productions. These are prompts only. We encourage you to read the play – the original translation in the first instance and then the new adaptation when it is available on the first day of rehearsal. Just before the production opens in April, Part B of the education resource will be available, providing images, interviews, and detailed analysis questions that relate to the Unit 3 performance analysis task. Why are you studying Miss Julie? The extract below from the Theatre Studies Study Design is a reminder of the Key Knowledge required and the Key Skills you need to demonstrate in your analysis of the play.

Även idéhistoriskt sett är Strindberg en guldgruva då han på väg mot sekelskiftet utvecklade ett starkt intresse för naturvetenskap, mystik och religion. Det är kring dessa ämnen jag valt att fokusera min uppsats. Strindberg har kännetecknats som trendmedveten och ivrigt strävande efter att framstå som upphovsman till nya svängningar inom litteraturen och har gått igenom flertalet faser av olika sorters inspiration, men syftet med denna uppsats är inte att analysera Strindberg som författare utan som idéförvaltare. Speciellt händelserik blev den kris Strindberg upplevde på 1890-talet då intrycken från religiösa verk blev betydande och samröret med ockulta sällskap blev frekvent.

  • Indras Dotter – Född Ur En Rysk Dröm1 Om Strindbergs Skuld Till Tjernysjevskij Av Mariusz Kalinowski
    Indras Dotter – född ur en rysk dröm1 Om Strindbergs skuld till Tjernysjevskij Av Mariusz Kalinowski Sanningen är alltid oförsynt. (A. Strindberg, Mäster Olof, 1872) Tar jag något sceneri och rekvisita, kanske en scen ur en tarvlig, tämligen okänd historisk roman, så är dramat fortfarande mitt, ty romanförfattarens arbete var icke konstnärligt utarbetat. Men tar jag till exempel Ivanhoe och Rebecka utan att nämna Walter Scotts namn, då är jag inne på andras jaktmark. (A. Strindberg, Ur-tjuva, 1910) År 2008 presenterade jag i Gdańsk texten Fröken Julie – designed in Russia!2, där jag visar att den centrala scenen i Strindbergs drama (navet i dess omtalade ”fina symmetri”), namnen Julie och Jean samt huvuddragen i fröken Julies gestalt är lånade från den ryske författaren Nikolaj Tjernysjevskijs roman Vad bör göras?. Fröken Julie visar sig ha en rysk förlaga: en demimond från Petersburg. Då jag skrev texten trodde jag mig vara ensam om att ha uppmärksammat Tjernysjevskijs betydelse för Strindbergs dramatik. Nu kan jag modifiera uppfattningen i fråga. År 1975 skrev den ryske forskaren Sjarypkin: ”Porträtten av »gamla människor« i romanen Vad bör göras? har i viss mån blivit till litterära prototyper för hjältarna i Strindbergs »naturalistiska« dramer. Personagerna i Fröken Julie (1888), Julie själv och hennes älskare Jean, har inte bara getts samma namn som »de gamla människorna« hos Tjernysjevskij – Jean Solovtsov och fransyskan Julie – utan också liknande karaktärsdrag och liknande syn på livet; de har samma intressen och uppvisar 1 samma stereotypa beteenden.” Osv. Likheterna, skriver Sjarypkin, är ”knappast slumpartade”.3 Tjernysjevskijs inflytande på Strindberg slutar dock inte i och med svenskens ”naturalistiska” period.

  • Mikael Van Reis
    Egil Törnqvist The “new technique” in Strindberg’s Kristina n his influential book Theorie des modernen Dramas (1880-1950), Peter Szondi argues that the drama from Ibsen onwards has I replaced essentially dramatic qualities with epic ones. For each dramatist discussed Szondi focuses on one epic aspect, for Ibsen the tendency to position the most dramatic events in the past rather than in the present, for Strindberg the inclination to subjectify the drama by making the central character subsume the ones surrounding him or her, the tendency to create what the Germans refer to as Ich-Drama. Szondi does not discuss the way dramatists in the period concerned have handled stage and acting directions. This is surprising, since it is in this area that we could find some of the most obvious examples of the epification of drama that concerns him. The trend is apparent already with Ibsen, where it culminates in Hedda Gabler (1890). It is much more prominent in Strindberg’s historical drama Kristina which actually has much in common with Ibsen’s drama.1 Strindberg’s Kristina has hitherto been discussed primarily from a biographical and genetic point of view. By contrast, my focus is less 1 Barbro Ståhle Sjönell, Review of Ola Kindstedt, Strindbergs Kristina, in Samlaren, 1990, p. 122. © TijdSchrift voor Skandinavistiek vol. 25 (2004), nr. 1 [ISSN: 0168-2148] 4 TijdSchrift voor Skandinavistiek on the writer-producer of the play and more on the potential consumer of it, especially the recreators of it: the actors, and the spectators. But primarily I am concerned with the need for both factual and terminological distinctions within the field of drama analysis, Strindberg’s Kristina serving as a paragon.
