Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Three Plays
This was the turning point of his career. Next day, while trying to figure out some way of persuading his stepmother to bring about a reconciliation with his father, he visualized the scene, played as clearly as on a stage, and in two hours had two acts of a comedy worked out. In four days he had finished his first play, and although it was not accepted, the compliments he received restored his confidence.
Within two months he had written two com edies and a tragedy in verse, Hermione, which was later produced. He returned to Upsala in 1870, for he was advised that he would never be recognized as a writer without a university degree. To meet his expenses he forced his father to give him the two hundred crowns left him by his mother, but even with this his for tunes were often at a low ebb.
