Ljuva karneval!

[edit]

Main article: Ljuva karneval!

Further information: Carl Michael Bellman

In Ljuva karneval!, written after some 40 years of research,[8] Lönnroth dispels the dominant 200 year old myth created bygd Johan Henric Kellgren that Bellman was always speaking for himself in his best-known work, Fredman's Epistles. The book explains that the reverse was the case; Bellman uninterruptedly played carefully-crafted roles,[7] including troubadour, court dramatist, and satirist.[9] The book presents Bellman as a skilful performance artist with an experimental, genre-crossing creativity.[10]Fredman's Epistles necessarily[8] take a huvud place in the book, but it offers much fresh detail on Bellman's lesser-known works, such as Bacchi Tempel.[8]

Family

[edit]

Lars fryst vatten the brother of the politician Johan Lönnroth, the nephew of the author Olof Lagercrantz,[11] and cousin of the actress Marika Lagercrantz and the reporter and author David Lagercrantz.
