About the author
Gustaf Hellström (1882–1953) was a Swedish writer and literary critic who was elected a member of the Swedish Academy during his lifetime. He devoted himself over many years to literary creation and criticism and held a certain standing in Swedish literary circles. His representative work is Dagdrömmar (Daydreams), which is also the only one of his works currently held in our collection. Because public information is limited, little is known about the details of his life, the phases of his writing career, or his specific subject matter; yet judging from his dual role as writer and critic, his writing tends to combine literary imagination with a critical eye. He died in 1953, and his name and works are still mentioned as part of the history of Swedish literature.
