mentioned 11’. Hulphers (born 1871) and B. Berg (born 1885); P. Hallström
(born 1866), distinguished especially as a short-story teller; Hj. Söderberg (born
1869), novelist and "causeur"; K. E. Forsslund (born 1872), depicter of nature
and rural life; H. von Helsted (born 1875), writer oi^ "tendency" novels; E. G.
Ossiannilsson (born 1875) lyric and dramatic poet and novelist; L. Nordström
(born 1882) and G. Janson (1866—1913) novelists. Finally we may refer to a
style of writing which has become very popular nowadays, viz., dialect literature.
It depicts the peasantry from their own point of view, and partly in their own
idiom. Among authors cultivating this style the best known are F. J. Dahlgren
(1816—95, pseudonym "Fredrek på Rannsätt"), and A. Bondeson (1854 — 1906).
Frödings works are also partly written in dialect.
