These works represent key stages in the author’s literary journey, addressing questions that emerged at the outset of his creative career during the “positivist” period (1919-1949) and the “humanist-idealist” phase (1925-1932), as well as the answers Lagerkvist provides to himself and his readers, drawing on his life and writing experiences, during his “religious atheism” phase (1950-1960s) and the “mystical-religious” period (from 1945), as classified by L. Breitholtz and V. Klaes, respectively. © Petrozavodsk State University |
