EDGREN 4EFFLER, See also:

ANNE See also:CHARLOTTE , duchess of Cajanello (1%9-1892), See also:Swedish author, daughter of the mathematician Prof. C. O. Leffler, was See also:born on the 1st of See also:October 1849. Her first See also:volume of stories appeared in 1869, but the first to which she attached her name was Ur Lifvet (" From See also:Life," 1882), a See also:series of realistic sketches of the upper circles of Swedish society, followed, by three other collections with the same See also:title. Her earliest plays, Skddespelerskan (" The Actress," 1873), and its successors, were produced anonymously in See also:Stockholm, but in 1883 her reputation was established by the success of Sanna Kvinnor (" True See also:Women "), and En Raddande See also:engel (" An See also:Angel of Deliverance "): Sanna Kvinnor is directed against false femininity, and was well received in See also:Germany as well as in See also:Sweden. Anne Leffler had married in '872 G. Edgren, but about 1884 she was separated from her See also:husband, who did not See also:share her advanced views. She spent some See also:time in See also:England, and in 1885 produced her Hur See also:man gor godt (" How men do See also:good "), followed in 1888 by See also:Kampen for lyckan (" The Struggle for Happiness "), in which she had the help of Sophie See also:Kovalevsky. Another volume of the Ur L fvei series appeared in 1889; and Familjelycka (" Domestic Happiness," 1891) was produced in the See also:year after her second See also:marriage, with the See also:Italian mathematician, Pasquale del Pezzo, duca di Cajanello. She died at See also:Naples on the 21st of October 1892. Her dramatic method forms a connecting See also:link between See also:Ibsen and See also:Strindberg, and its masculine directness, freedom from See also:prejudice, and frankness gave her See also:work a high estimation in Sweden.

Her last See also:

book was a See also:biography (1892) of her friend Sophie (Sonya) Kovalevsky, by way of introduction to Sonya's autobiography. An See also:English See also:translation (1895) by A. de Furnhjelm and A. M. See also:Clive Bayley contains a See also:biographical See also:note on Fru Edgren-Leffler by See also:Lily Wolffsohn, based on private See also:sources. See also Ellen See also:Key, Anne Charlotte Leffler (Stockholm, 1893).
