Bergman, Hjalmar

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.04 sec.

Bergman, Hjalmar (1883–1931)

Swedish novelist and dramatist. His pessimism and realistic clarity of vision are tempered by humour, as in his novel Clownen Jack/Jack the Clown (1930), or by irony and brilliant satire, as in Markurells i Wadköping/The Markurells of Wadköping (1919). He was equally popular as a playwright (Swedenhielms 1925, Patrasket/The Rabble 1928), and one of the few Swedish writers of genuine comedies. He also wrote scripts for films and radio.

Bergman was born in Örebro and studied at Uppsala. He frequently lived abroad. Wadköping is a fictive small town in which his most popular works are set.
