August Strindberg

August Strindberg was Sweden's greatest playwright and one of the founding figures of modern drama, whose works include Miss Julie (1888), The Father (1887), and the expressionist trilogy To Damascus (1898-1901). His life was as turbulent as his plays: three marriages, a mental breakdown known as the Inferno crisis, and a lifelong war with the Swedish establishment. He experimented with photography, alchemy, and painting alongside his writing. Miss Julie's minute stage directions and psychological intensity were revolutionary; his expressionist late plays influenced virtually every subsequent German and Scandinavian playwright.
