Hansson, Ola (1860–1925)

Swedish poet, novelist, and critic. His early poetry describes the beauty of the Swedish plains, but he turned in his later work to admiration of Nietzsche. He wrote Sensitiva amorosa 1887, a collection of short stories about the unconscious life of the soul, and some excellent criticism: Materialismen i skonlitteraturen 1892 and Tolkare och siare 1894.

He also wrote Friedrich Nietzsche 1890, the novel Fru Ester Bruce 1893, and the Nietzschean prose-poems Ung Ofegs visor 1892.
