Our book Ur regnskogens skugga about Daniel Rolander (a disciple of Carl Linnaeus) who went to Suriname for research was nominated to the August Prize in November 2012 and was awarded the Verbala priset
at Svenska Publishinggalan 2012 ("for a masterpiece in cultural history and one of the best account of a travel ever").
My fields of research are varied: Vergil, St. Birgitta of Sweden, the correspondence of Chancellor of the Realm Axel Oxenstierna, Daniel Rolander's Diarium Surinamicum. I have also co-edited a collection of articles about Sweden's first woman poet, Sophia Elisabet Brenner (d. 1730). For details about my research see the list of publications below.
Research
My profile in Lund University research portal
- Johannes Magnus and the Composition of Truth. Historia de omnibus Gothorum Sueonumque regibus
- St. Birgitta and posterity - the role of her confessor Bishop Alfonso of Jaén as administrator of her spiritual heritage (research leader)
- Card playing as a mirror of society in Late Medieval Europe: Ludus cartularum moralisatus by Johannes of Rheinfelden, edition with commentaries and analysis (research leader)
- Linnæus and South America: An edition of Diarium Surinamicum, a report from South America written by a disciple of Linnaeus, Danie (research leader)
- Linnaeus and South America: Edition of and studies in Daniel Rolander's Diarium Surinamicum, his botanicl, zoological and anthropological report. (research leader)
- The Works and Correspondence of Axel Oxenstierna (research leader)
- Sophia Elisabet Brenner - poet and learned lady in early 18th century Sweden (research leader)
My main field of research is Neo-Latin: the diplomatic correspondence of Axel Oxenstierna, the works of Swedens's first woman writer, Sophia Elisabet Brenner, and the scientific and literary achievements of Daniel Rolander, a disciple of Carl Linnaeus.
My most recent contribution to Oxenstierna scholarship was an edition of Sir James Spens' and Jan Rutgers' letters to the chancellor (from London and The Hague respectively). The next book will be an edition of Carl Marinus' letters from Switzerland.
As regards Brenner research I edited (in cooperation with Valborg Lindgärde and Elisabet Göransson) a collection of papers, Wår lärda Skalde-fru, Sophia Elisabet Brenner (2011). My article is devoted to Mrs. Brenner as a propagator of the Swedish language. I am working on the liminal poetry to her Poetiske Dikter 1713.
Daniel Rolander's journey to Suriname gave very important contributions to zoology and botany. On his return he was marginalized and became "the invisible naturalist", to quote my colleague, James Dobreff, who has published articles (e.g. in Harvard Papers in Botany) demonstrating the importance of Rolander's discoveries. In October 2011, a book, Ur regnskogens skugga (Out of the shadow of the rain forest), with a monography by Dobreff illuminating Rolander's double roles as scientist and man of letters came out (Max Ströms förlag). The edition of Rolander's Diarium Surinamicum is on its way to the publisher, Humanistica Lovaniensia (500 pages)
