"Detta avskyvärda i att icke få vara människa endast kvinna, kvinna, kvinna!" Så skrev hon, Victoria Benedictsson. Hennes självmord 1888 - hon skar sig i halsen med en rakkniv - sägs ha inspirerat Strindberg till skildringen av fröken Julie. Sina romaner skrev Victoria under pseudonymen Ernst Ahlgren. Numera räknas hon till en av den svenska feminismens föregångare. I novellen Ur mörkret berättar en kvinna om sin uppväxt och om sin faders förakt för kvinnor. En skildring som tyvärr kan sägas ha relevans än i dag. Novellen publicerades för första gången 1888. Lästid 11 min.

Stora boken

The novel is set in rural southern Sweden where the author lived, and follows the fortunes of Selma Berg, a girl whose fate has much in common with that of Madame Bovary and Ibsen's Nora. The gifted young Selma is forced to give up her dreams of going to art school when her uncle persuades her to marry, at the age of sixteen, a rich older squire. Profoundly shocked by her wedding night and by the mercenary nature of the marriage transaction, she finds herself trapped in a life of idle luxury. She finds solace in her friendship with her cousin and old sparring partner Richard; but as their mutual regard threatens to blossom into passion, she draws back from committing adultery and from surrendering to the force of her own sexuality. She chooses instead to leave her marriage and take the first difficult steps on the road to independence.

Ord på liv och död

Clare Bayley

One sunny day in Paris, Gustave Alland, famous artist and philanderer, visits Louise Strandberg - convalescing in her brother's studio - and casts her effortlessly under his spell. In a vain attempt to escape, she exiles herself to her provincial hometown in Sweden. But a letter propels her back to Paris and into his arms. And for a brief moment, ecstasy is hers. Victoria Benedictsson, groundbreaking Swedish novelist and playwright, was the inspiration for Strindberg's Miss Julie. She had a scandalous affair which led to her suicide, soon after completing the play, in 1888. The Enchantment, in this version by Clare Bayley, received its British premiere in 2007 at the National Theatre, London.
