The North! to the North!

"Judith Moffett presents substantial selections of five important nineteenth-century Swedish poets in formal translation, with en face text, critical and biographical introductory essays, and notes. Each of the poets - Esaias Tegner, Johan Ludvig Runeberg, Viktor Rydberg, Gustaf Froding, and Erik Axel Karlfeldt - made a significant contribution to Swedish literature and was justly famous in his own time. Even today, every Swedish student knows the names of these poets."--BOOK JACKET.
