An Anthology of Swedish Lyrics from 1750 to 1915 is a collection of Swedish poems and song lyrics compiled by Charles Wharton Stork. The book includes works from some of the most notable Swedish poets of the time, such as Carl Michael Bellman, Erik Johan Stagnelius, and Gustaf Fr������ding. The poems cover a range of themes, including love, nature, and social commentary. The book is divided into sections based on the time period in which the poems were written, providing readers with a historical context for the works. Stork's introduction provides background information on Swedish poetry and its development over the centuries. This anthology is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Swedish literature and culture, as well as for those studying poetry and song lyrics more broadly.1917. The translator's aim was to provide an introductory volume to Swedish lyric poetry. Stork writes that he believes the real genius of Swedish poetry became more marked as the national character began to develop under freer, more modern, conditions the poetry he has selected comes from the later lyrists-1870 to the present time. Poetry from fourteen living poets is included, but the accent in selection was strongly placed upon these nine principal poets; Bellman, Tegner, Runebert, Rydberg, Snoilsky, Froding, Levertin, Heidenstam and Karlfeldt.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
