Emilie Flygare Carln (1807-1892)
Emilie Flygare-Carln (ne Smith; August 8, 1807, Strmstad - February 5, 1892, Stockholm) was a Swedish novelist. Emilie Smith grew up in the archipelago of Bohusln, daughter of a merchant. At the age of twenty, she married a local physician, Axel Flygare, but was widowed in 1833. She moved to Stockholm some years later, and in 1841 she married the lawyer and publicist Johan Gabriel Carln. She is best known by the hyphenated name Flygare-Carln. Her first novel, Valdemar Klein, was published in 1838. In that and several later novels, such as Rosen p Tisteln, Pl Vrning, Enslingen p Johannisskret, Jungfrutornet, and Ett kpmanshus i skrgrden, she wrote about life in the archipelago and the sea, while the stories of novels such as Fosterbrderna, Fideikommisset, Ett r, En nyckfull kvinna, Kamrer Lassman, and Vindskuporna take place in the middle or upper classes. She was translated into Danish, Norwegian, German, Russian, French, English, Italian, Dutch, Hungarian and Czech, and was the most widely spread Swedish novelist of her time. In 2007, Valancourt books released a new scholarly English edition of The Magic Goblet (Kyrkoinvigningen i Hammarby, 1841), edited by Amy H. Sturgis.
