Locating August Strindberg's Prose

Reviews / Votes

'A long overdue contribution to our understanding of the Swedish author's instrumental role in devising transnational prose modernism...The concept of literary setting is central to Stenport's project of re-locating Strindberg's prose in the heart of European modernism.... The book's compelling argument will also inspire fresh contemporary translations of these texts, translations that will help us appreciate Strindberg's truly transnational contributions in our globalized world.' - Eszter Szalczer (Modernism/Modernity Volume 19:1:2012) 'A fascinating and substantial study of spatial setting in Strindberg's works, showing how settings can be used as a tool for exploring European literary modernism...Stenport writes in an elegant academic prose which contributes to making the book a pleasure to read.' - Lynn R.Wilkinson (Scandinavian Studies, Vol. 83: Summer 2011) 'A fascinating and substantial study of spatial setting in Strindberg's works, showing how settings can be used as a tool for exploring European literary modernism...Stenport writes in an elegant academic prose which contributes to making the book a pleasure to read.' - Kristina SjOEgren (Scandinavica Vol 50:2:2011) 'an insightful analysis... Recommended.' - H.I. Eisohn (CHOICE Magazine; vol 48:09:2011)
