The curse on the Loewenskoeld family comes to fruition in
unexpected ways in this final volume of the Loewenskoeld cycle.
Anna Svard is also very much a novel of women's struggle toward
finding fulfillment. The Loewenskoeld Ring resonates with 'beggars
cannot be choosers' in relation to what a poor woman can expect in
life, while Charlotte Loewenskoeld moves toward women having some
choices. In Anna Svard the eponymous protagonist takes full and
impressive control of her own life and destiny. The question of
motherhood and the fates of the children with whom the characters
engage is another theme. The reader goes on to follow Charlotte,
Karl-Artur, Thea and their families, familiar from the previous
volume, through this compact novel as it moves relentlessly toward
a chilling denoument. Selma Lagerloef (1858-1940) quickly
established herself as a major author of novels and short stories,
and her work has been translated into close to 50 languages. Most
of the translations into English were made soon after the
publication of the original Swedish texts and have long been out of
date. 'Lagerloef in English' provides English-language readers with
high-quality new translations of a selection of the Nobel
Laureate's most important texts.
