by August Strindberg .jpg)
Swedish playwright, novelist, poet and essayist. Strindberg's career spanned four decades, during which time he wrote over 60 plays and more than 30 works of fiction, autobiography, history, cultural analysis, and politics.
In Sweden Strindberg is both known as a novelist and a playwright, but in most other countries he is almost only known as a playwright. He is considered the "father" of modern Swedish literature and his novel The Red Room (1879) has frequently been described as the first modern Swedish novel. His theatrical breakthrough came in 1881, when his first major play, Master Olof, was premiered.
