A Swedish poet and dramatist; born at Taberg, Sept. 20, 1816; died at Djurshoim, Feb. 16, 1895. He wrote many dialect songs and ballads, collections of which were published in three volumes (1876). These have attained an extra-ordinary degree of popularity. Of his dramas many were very successful; his "Vermlandingarne", a musical drama (1846), had more than 100 consecutive representations. He translated many dramas from foreign languages, and wrote a history of the Swedish stage.
