Almqvist, Carl Jonas Love (1793–1866)| Swedish author. His literary career began 1832 with the first of his series of romances; this and much of his subsequent works were collected in two series of Törnrosensbok/The Book of the Thorn Rose 1832–51. His succeeding lyrics, dramas, and philosophical, aesthetic, moral, and educational works show remarkable versatility. |
| His short novel Det går an/Sara Videbeck (1839; translated 1919), attacked the orthodox view of marriage. In 1851, convicted of forgery and charged with murder, he fled to America. He returned to Europe 1865, and died in Bremen. |
