CRUSENSTOLPE, See also:MAGNUS See also:JAKOB (1795-1865) , See also:Swedish historian, See also:early became famous both as a See also:political and a See also:historical writer. His first important See also:work was a See also:History of the Early Years of the See also:Life of See also:King Gustavus IV. See also:Adolphus, which was followed by a See also:series of monographs and by some politico-historical novels, of which The See also:House of See also:Holstein-Gottorp in See also:Sweden is considered the best. He obtained a See also:great See also:influence over King See also:Charles XIV. (Bernadotte), who during the years 1830–1833 gave him his fullest confidence, and sanctioned the See also:official See also:character of Crusenstolpe's newspaper Fdderneslandet. In the last-mentioned See also:year, however, the historian suddenly became the king's bitterest enemy, and used his acrid See also:pen on all occasions in attacking him. In 1838 he was condemned, for one of these angry utterances, to be imprisoned three years in the See also:castle of Waxholm. He continued his See also:literary labours until his See also:death in 1865. Few Swedish writers have wielded so pure and so incisive a See also:style as Crusenstolpe, but his historical work is vitiated by political and See also:personal See also:bias.
