Book Description
"Swedish Folktales and Legends is a diverse and enchanting collection of more than one hundred and fifty tales, providing a representative sampling of Sweden's folklore tradition, which was first recorded in the mid-nineteenth century (around the time of the Brothers Grimm). Drawn primarily from the Swedish National Folklore Archives and private collections as well as from various other sources, they are all newly translated from the Swedish, many for the first time. Ranging from the ribald to the romantic from the rustic to the mystical, from farmers' jokes to epiphanies, these are stories in which sirens trolls, giants, tomtar (household spirits) and ghosts, as well as princesses, shepherds, dunces and rakes all come to life. The unique voices and spirit of storytellers from generations past are unerringly captured in these lively original translations."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Description
Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Michelle Facos links the social and cultural dynamics in turn-of-the-century Sweden to the discourses of primitivism, nationalism, and symbolism. In the process, she sheds new light on a major area of study, the manifestation of modernism in Sweden. These painters - among them Carl Larsson, Anders Zorn, Bruno Liljefors, and Prince Eugen - sought to produce a specifically national Swedish art. They focused on indigenous history, legends, and folk tales as well as customs, values, geography, and ethnography - anything they perceived as uniquely or typically Swedish. Politically progressive and culturally conservative, the National Romantic artists protested against the dangers they perceived in capitalist industrialism and urban expansion and promoted an egalitarian ideology centered on the Swedish/Nordic native culture.
