Writing as a Vehicle for Change: Swedish Literature

Explore Swedish literature this summer! Over four weeks, this class taught by Gunn Edberg-Caldwell will discuss two texts written 100 years apart, Pengar (Money) by Victoria Benedictsson and Århundradets Kärlekssaga (The Love Story of the Century) by Märta Tikkanen. Discussion will focus on themes present in both books including love, emancipation, social rights, class, gender, and freedom. Books can be read in either Swedish or English, and class discussions will be held in English.

The books are not available in the ASI Museum Store but can be found at the library or online.
