  Scandinavian Studies: The formation of an artistic identity: the young Artur Lundkvist.@ HighBeam Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The 20th century Swedish poet Artur Lundkvist was an innovator who replaced the symbolist tradition with an expressionist structure.
Influences on Lundkvist included countrymen such as Par Lagerkvist and Vilhelm Ekelund and later American poets Walt Whitman and Carl Sandburg.
Lundkvist's most significant model, however, was Edgar Lee Masters and his 'Spoon River Anthology.' From Masters, Lundkvist learned to depict life in poems by focussing on one significant event or detail.

 ARTUR LUNDKVIST
My errand to Artur Lundkvist was to ask him to write a collection of poems for an edition together with Corneille, whom he already knew.
To Maria he was a husband, friend and working mate, with whom she under almost half a century had enjoyed a long and rich love relation which had been much written about.
Corneille was glad about the suggestion and made a magnificent work with remodelling his "old" illustrations into colour etchings, as well as new pictures accompanying the homogeneous texts of Artur Lundkvist.

 Lundkvist, Artur: Journeys in Dream and Imagination   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Many were dreams of journeys to real or fantastic places: for example, a trip to a railroad station in Chicago where physicians surgically transformed white people into fl people, or a visit to a strange planet where cows produced blue milk.
Lundkvist's memories of these dreams are embedded in a series of imaginative meditations on aging, human nature, the meaning of life, and the inexorable passage of time.
Lundkvist's clinical circumstance is not new: a patient hovering near the maw of death returns to life to report a profound experience that took place while others thought he or she was comatose or delirious.

SBR perhaps does not dip into Sweden’s cornucopia of books for young people often enough, so we are glad to present part of a teen novel by Inger Edelfeldt.
We also feature translations of work by two eminent but very different twentieth-century Swedish writers, Artur Lundkvist and Walter Ljungquist, who – much like Anne Brontë in Sweden – deserve wider recognition here.
A self-taught writer, Lundkvist allied himself with the forces of surrealism, primitivism and the Left, explaining that he wanted to write books "without frontiers" and "beyond the tyranny of genre".

These images, however, are arrested at the peak of the sensuous and because of this sensuousness, which they are unable to transcend.
In their efforts to deal with the supersensual, Pär Lagerkvist, Edith Södergran, Elmer Diktonius, Gunnar Björling, Artur Lundkvist, Harry Martinson and Gunnar Ekelöf reveal the supremacy of the body in different but also similar ways.
There is, for all of these poets, a constant transference between the body and the surrounding world, but the grotesque image prevents any harmonious union: the contrasting elements remain unresolved in relation to each other.
