- Agnes von Krusenstjerna was born into an aristocratic family. She was educated in Stockholm and made her publishing debut in 1917 with a girl's novel. She then aroused considerable controversy by writing several sexually explicit novels, such as the series Tonybockerna ("The Tony Books") from 1922 to 1936, and the seven-volume work Froknarna von Pahlen ("The Misses von Pahlen") from 1930 to 1935. Her books ignited public debate about freedom of speech, the right of female expression, and the right to sexual freedom. Some of her work was inspired by her own life and may be partially autobiographical, especially her last, unfinished cycle of books, Fattigadel ("Poor Nobility").
Agnes von Krusenstjerna was admitted to mental hospitals on several occasions. In 1940, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor and died during surgery.

Samlade skrifter. [8], 2, Fröknarna von Pahlen,… von Agnes von Krusenstjerna
Andra delen i serien om Fröknarna von Pahlen. I första boken byggdes persongalleriet upp på ett föredömligt sätt vilket gjorde att jag blev nyfiken på fortsättningen och jag blir inte besviken. Det är ett starkt klassiskt drama kring kärlek, svek och förbjuden kärlek. men också en stark feministisk skildring kring tidsandan. Lika aktuell idag men det är väl det som kännetecknar en riktig klassiker.
Den blå rullgardinen tillhör ju onekligen de svenska klassikerna. Tidig feministisk litteratur. Mycket vackert språk, person och miljöbeskrivningar. Historisk roman som visar hur det var på 20-talet. Detta är ju första boken av 7 och det märks i hur persongalleriet byggs upp. Småtrevligt utan att så mycket händer. Ser fram emot övriga delar i serien.
Time is running out, or so they feel, the people around Eka estate. Petra falls in love again, almost by choice, to Tord, a married man. And Tord’s wife, deliciously nasty Adéle – the definitive wild card of this series – snares a poor preacher in parasitic love. And world-weary Hans, always full of longing for something more, gets word he is in fact dying of cancer, and makes the shaky decision not to tell his family.
This is a weaker book than the previous parts, perhaps because hasty passion as a theme isn’t necessarily my favorite one. But the boldness with which Krusenstjerna, in the 1930ies, tackles some rather sordid subject matter slices right through time, and her way with characters is sensitive and raw. I’ll absolutely go on reading this classic Swedish series.… (mehr)

The second book in the Fröknarna von Pahlen series, which I started last year. These books caused a big controversy when they were originally published in the 30ies, and it’s quite easy to see why. Krusenstjerna seems to almost deliberately step into all sensitive areas she can – abortion, lesbianism, sibling incest – and some things, like her description of masochism, are rare in mainstream fiction even today. The book runs a risk of becoming a sample menu of things shocking, but Krusenstjerna handles her subjects with understanding and subtleness.
There is a definite sense of following a hiking trail though, station to station. Dealing mostly with the young orphan Angela leaving the country estate to go to housekeeping school, this second book makes almost no use of the rich cast from the first installment. Instead we follow her through her first school year, from big life event to big life event, occasionally swapping perspectives to tell someone else’s life story. It’s more a string of anecdotes than a plot, and I’m more than a little worried this whole book will become a parenthesis in the series , all isolated events with little to do with the overall arcs. Still, the handling of the situations in themselves is mostly really good, with several strong moments that will linger. An unexpected bonus is that the housekeeping school is in Strängnäs, my new home town. The sense of place isn’t very strong, but pondering which streets and beaches the characters are walking added to my enjoyment.… (mehr)
