Encyclopedia Article
Carl Jonas Love Almqvist (1793-1866), Swedish writer, born in Stockholm, and educated at the University of Uppsala. His novels, short stories, poems, and verse dramas were collected in Törnrosens Bok (The Book of the Thorn Rose, 14 volumes, 1832-51). Almqvist's work marks the transition from romanticism to realism in Swedish literature. His most important single work is Sara Videbeck (1839; trans. 1919), a realistic story dealing with love and marriage. In 1851 Almqvist was charged with forgery and murder. He fled first to the United States and later to Bremen, Germany, where he lived under the name of Professor Westermann.
