As is natural, modern Swedish historical writers have devoted themselves
primarily to the history of their own country. A series of important historical works,
founded on a comprehensive study of sources, has been prepared by the writers,
now deceased: K. G. Styffe (later medieval times), F. F. Carlson (1811 — 87;
from 1654 to 1706), whose work was continued by his son Ernst Carlson (1854
— 1909; from 1706 — 10), K. Gv Malmström (1822 — 1912; the Period of
Liberty) and K. T. Odhner (1836—1904; the Periods of 1632—44 and 1772
—88). These works all belong to the first rank of modern Swedish historical
writing. Important works in different fields have been produced by H. Forsell
(1843 — 1901; economic history); M. Weibull (1835—1902; History of 17th

1904) and 0. Alin (1846 —1900) both actively worked on constitutional history
and that of Swedish politics and the Swedo-Norwegian Union; H. Hildebrand (1842
— 1913, Middle Ages, History of Civilization); E. H. Karlsson (1856 — 1909,
