    Johan Risell, Samlade dikter. Utgivna med inledning och kommentarer av Lars Burman. (Johan Risell, Collected Poems. Edited with introduction and commentary by Lars Burman.) Skrifter utgivna av Svenska Vitterhetssamfundet. Svenska författare. Ny serie, xxxii + 296 p. Stockholm. ISBN 978-91-7230-213-6Johan Risell (1697–1724) was a highly acclaimed Swedish poet during the early 18th century. However, he has gradually been forgotten, possibly because of his early death and the changing times and literary ideals, but mainly because only seven poems have been known to his name. During the 20th century, he did not receive attention.Due to a recent manuscript find in Karlstad in Värmland, 61 poems by Risell are now known. This volume presents a critical edition of his poems. Notwithstanding his death at the age of only 27, Risell is shown to have been a diligent and varied author, writing orations and occasional verse to further his career, but also excelling in satires and songs to entertain his friends. It is clear that he performed his orations and songs, and he appears as a Swedish example of an early modern singer-songwriter. The student setting of Uppsala was important. In many of his poems and songs he celebrates a joyful bohemian way of life, in others, he appears as a melancholic lover. His vivid imagination, emotional appeal and oral qualities are to be noted. The themes of love and war are prominent. His more than two dozen song-texts are particularly notable, as it is shown that many of these were widely spread during the 18th century, though without attribution. They appear in handwritten songbooks and a few were printed in chapbooks.Johan Risell was a vicar’s son from Värmland and Dalsland, who matriculated at Uppsala University 1717, but never received a degree. After working as a tutor for richer families, he finally was appointed »stadssekreterare« (a local administrative position calling for some training in law) in Köping. He died in Uppsala before he could take up office.</p

    No full text
    During the period 1828-1862 the Swedish author Fredrika Bremer (1801-1865) published a large number of novels and travel journals. The novel Grannarne (The Neighbours), publ. 1837, is among the most successful of these. It was widely translated, and at least fifty foreign editions have been published. In the 1840's and 1850's, when the author reached the peak of her international renown, she was often referred to as "The author of The Neighbours". The novel was particularly popular in the English-speaking world, and it had some importance in the development of the Victorian Novel.This edition presents the first critical text, and the preface charters the themes and motifs of the novel, the process of its writing and printing, and its reception in Sweden.</p

    On the Construction of a Problem Sequence

    No full text
    This article is a complementary article to three earlier published articles (Burman &amp; Wallin, 2014; Burman, 2014; Burman, 2016) about the use of problem sequences in mathematics instruction in the grades seven to nine in Finland. The pupils work with problems using the same strategy in different contexts, or with only one problem where they gradually proceed towards the solution. In both cases, the problems are solved in steps under the guidance of the teacher. The article focuses on the considerations designer of a problem sequence has, as the design of the sequence is accomplished. In general, the pupils are supposed to be provided with the possibility to think creatively, to work mostly in groups but also individually, and to be inspired by tasks related to real-world situations.</jats:p

    Glömd kärlek [Elektronisk resurs] : Om Torsten Rudeens dikter

    No full text
    Forgotten Love. The Poetry of Torsten RudeenTorsten Rudeen (1661–1729) was a productive and much-appreciatedwriter of occasional poetry, especially during the 1680s, but his most notablecontribution to Swedish literature are his love poems, not least those tohis wife Anna (1675–1695). These were not printed in his own time andhave never been scholarly collected and edited, a reason why Rudeen todayis less known. His poetry on love and matrimony will, however, be publishedby Lars Burman in a critical edition in early 2019 (Svenska Vitterhetssamfundet).This article introduces Rudeen who harkened from Värmlandand studied at Uppsala University. He was appointed poëseos professorat Turku (Åbo) University in 1692 and Superintendent (Bishop) inKarlstad in 1709. He crowned his career as Bishop in Linköping. The articlediscusses the fate of lesser-known but interesting authorships, andhighlights the poetic immediacy of Torsten Rudeen’s sentiments, unusualfor the Swedish 17th century.</p
