Oscar Levertin (1862–1906)

Levertin, Oscar. A Swedish poet; born at Stockholm, 1862; died in 1906. Breaking with realism, he indulged his bent toward romance and mysticism in his poems ‘Legends and Tales’ (1891), and ‘New Poems’ (1894). He was at the head of the younger lyric poets of Sweden. In his work ‘Gustavus III. as a Dramatist’ (1894), he proves himself an acute critic.
