Poetry
[edit]His poetry combines formal virtuosity with a sympathy for the ordinary, the neglected and the down-trodden, sometimes written in his own regional dialect. It is highly musical and lends itself to musical setting; many of his poems have been set to music and recorded by Swedish singers such as Olle Adolphson, Monica Zetterlund, the Värmland group Sven-Ingvars and the Swedish band Mando Diao.
Fröding wrote openly about his personal problems with alcohol and women and had to face a trial for obscenity.
Jag köpte min kärlek för pengar, UlleHaddockByullehaddock My absolute favourite Swedish poet is Gustaf Fröding ( &#; ). This brilliant poet and author&#;s short life was darkened with mental illness. Both his own and his parents. Perhaps this is evidence that brilliance and folly dances on a razor sharp edge. He is still a popular poet in Sweden. The poems are highly musical and lends itself to musical setting. He is one the poets with the highest number of his poems that have been set to music. Many of them topping the charts for weeks on. Many of his brilliant poems are written in the melodic dialect from his home province Värmland. In my mind the most beautiful Swedish dialect. Even if a person with this dialect is really angry with you it sounds like a declaration of love. The dialect is often a challenge to understand by Swedish speakers and then to translate to English! Even so an Englishman named Mike McArthur took on the task with Frödings most loved poems. He did an excellent job and to that I&#;m glad to be able to share one of the poems in English. This poem was a great comfort to me when I lost my son four years ago. SolaceWhen comes deep sorrow, as when nigh Gustaf FrödingGustaf Fröding var enstaka svensk poet, född 22 augusti vid Alsters bruk utanför Karlstad, Värmland, död 8 månad i huvudstaden. BiografiUppväxt Gustaf Fröding föddes den 22 augusti vid Alsters bruk i Värmland. Hemmet fanns musikaliskt samt vittert dock fördystrades genom sjukdom. Fadern, Ferdinand, plats löjtnant samt var mot lynnet melankolisk samt led av lungsjukdom. När Gustaf föddes ägde modern Emilia Fröding (–), dotter mot Carl Adolph Agardh, redan angripits från en sinnessjukdom, så svår att denna måste söka vård. Redan under sin skoltid ägde Fröding hunnit att utföra sig förtrogen med svensk vitterhet. Familjen Fröding bosatte sig likt hyresgäster vid Nya Kyrkogatan 5 inom Kristinehamn dem blev ägare till huset och lämnade gården Gustaf lämnade hemmet ett kalenderår tidigare, efter faderns död. Gustaf Frödings far Ferdinand och Anna, en från systrarna, begravdes på Kristinehamns gamla kyrkogård söder angående kyrkans kor. Intresset till skönlitteratur lämnade ej många håg samt tid kvar för övriga studier nära universitetet inom Uppsala, var Fröding kalenderår inskrevs vilket student. denne förde inte någonsin sina studier fram mot någon certifikat, och efter fyra kalenderår övergav denne Uppsala samt återvände mot Värml |
