Atterbòm Per Daniel Amadeus
(1790—1855)

Per Daniel Amadeus Atterbom was a Swedish romantic poet, and a member of the Swedish Academy. Professor of Aesthetics and Philosophy at the University of Uppsala, he represents one of the most subversive tendencies of Swedish Romanticism, reflecting the aesthetic-religious revolution and the conservative-nationalistic devolution up to the medieval utopias. He maintained the spiritual and linguistic superiority of the German peoples by the image of an eroic north against a sensual and musical south – in which Italy, even if painted with romantic Sehnsucht, appears as a Deadland.
