Fredrika Bremer • Critical Literature SWEDISH LITERATURE HELENA FORSÅS-SCOTT REWRITING THE SCRIPT: GENDER AND COMMUNITY IN ELIN WÄGNER 978-1-909408-14-2 426 PAGES PAPERBACK £14.95 Feminist, suffragist, pacifist and environmentalist, Elin Wägner was not only a novelist but also the author of a prodigious amount of journalism, political pamphlets and prose fiction. This is the first full-length study of her work in English.
'Women figure all too rarely in histories and studies of intellectuals. Forsås-Scott shows that Elin Wägner certainly belongs there.' Scandinavian Studies This is the first full-length study in English of the œuvre of Elin Wägner – feminist, suffragist, pacifist and environmentalist – and also the first to include texts representing a wide range of genres. The focus on gender and community, studied in relation to dominant and alternative discourses, shows a number of Wägner’s texts to be con- siderably more radical than has been observed previously. Some of them are found to have outlined bold alternatives to the Swedish wel- fare state, and the combination of gender and environmentalism in some of the late texts anticipated much more recent ecocritical work. Helena Forsås-Scott was Professor of Swedish and Gender Studies at University College London and retired in 2010. ‘With Re-Writing the Script Wägner scholarship has got a standard work. Forsås-Scott has confirmed her position as the leading Wägner scholar and at the same time confirmed Wägner’s position as both important for our time and central to our understanding of the first half of the twentieth century in Sweden.’ Avain – Finnish Review of Literary Studies, 3/2013 ‘places Wägner’s many different texts in a complex matrix where not only the actual gendered role play is important by itself, but ... is also important in a larger Swedish and European socio-political context ... a lifetime achievement, filled with new information that is valuable to readers of various interests and disciplines’ Scandinavian Studies, 2014
