Biographical Details;
ReplyDelete- Strindberg's mother, Ulrika Eleanora Norling, died when he was a thirteen year old boy. She was originally a servant, though married a shipping director named Carl Oscar Strindberg, August's father. Carl Oscar Strindberg was purpotedly claimaint to 'aristocratic blood.'
He had said:
"I have no wish at all to be a "great" writer, let alone a "great" man. It would just embarrass me and betray a false position. I want to go in nightgown and underwear and be known as a scandal-writer, that wouldn´t embarrass me."
In 1884. ('That' is supposed to be emphasised but this platform won't show it!)
A review of 'Creditors', however just the written text and not the play itself being performed.
