 Verner von Heidenstam
Heidenstam often chose national themes for his novels and his great neoromantic rival was Selma Lagerlöf, the winner of the Nobel Prize in 1909.
His first novel, ENDYMION (1889), was set in Damascus, and expressed the author's fear of the decline of Orient culture due to European influences.
It was followed by a pamphlet, RENÄSSANS (1890), the prose-and-verse novel HANS ALIENIUS (1892), in which the protagonist, a wanderer, depicts his problematic relationship with his father, and DIKTER (1895), in which the declamatory and recitative tone do not hide Heidenstam's wishes to be respected as a national poet.
