Nils Holgersson's Wonderful Journey through Sweden (1906–07) is truly unique. Starting life as a commissioned school reader designed to present the geography of Sweden to nine-year-olds, it quickly won the international fame and popularity it still enjoys over a century later. The story of the naughty boy who climbs on the gander's back and is then carried the length of the country, learning both geography and good behaviour as he goes, has captivated adults and children alike, as well as inspiring film-makers and illustrators. The elegance of the present translation – the first full translation into English – is beautifully complemented by the illustrations specially created for the volume.

This is the first full-length study in English of the oeuvre of Elin Wägner – feminist, suffragist, pacifist and environmentalist – and also the first to include texts representing a wide range of genres. The focus on gender and community, studied in relation to dominant and alternative discourses, shows a number of Wagner's texts to be considerably more radical than has been observed previously. Some of them are found to have outlined bold alternatives to the Swedish welfare state, and the combination of gender and environmentalism in some of the late texts anticipated much more recent ecocritical work. The edition contains an updated selected bibliography and preface to the second edition.

For the first time ever, cutting-edge research about the Swedish Nobel Laureate Selma Lagerlöf and her work is made available to a world-wide audience in one comprehensive volume. Written by an international group of scholars, Re-Mapping Lagerlöf highlights the interdisciplinarity of current Lagerlöf research which frequently cuts across genres, media and disciplines. The structure of the book, with sections dedicated to performance, film and intermediality, transnational narratives and European transmissions, is reinforced by the extensive introductory portal. The authors explore themes such as Lagerlöf in and political contexts, her involvement in the womens movement, the construction of her celebrity persona, her role for early Swedish film, the transnationality of her work and its impact in international contexts. The volume includes a number of illustrations that are rarely reproduced, and the detailed bibliographical section will contribute to making Re-Mapping Lagerlöf an indispensable platform for Lagerlöf scholarship for years to come. It also offers a model for interdisciplinary research in the arts and humanities. För första gången presenteras för internationell publik högaktuell forskning om nobelpristagaren Selma Lagerlöf i en heltäckande volym. Re-Mapping Lagerlöf innehåller bidrag av en grupp internationella forskare och lyfter fram de tvärvetenskapliga dimensionerna i dagens Lagerlöfforskning, som ofta går på tvärs över gränserna mellan genrer, medier och discipliner. Bokens struktur, med sektioner om framställning/föreställning, film och intermedialitet, transnationella berättelser samt översättningar och reception i andra europeiska länder, stryks under i den utförliga inledande portalen. Författarna tar upp teman som Lagerlöf i kulturella och politiska kontexter, hennes engagemang i kvinnorörelsen, konstruktionen av Lagerlöf som kändis, och hennes betydelse för tidig svensk film. Boken innehåller en rad illustrationer som inte har publicerats tidigare, och den omfattande bibliografin kommer att bidra till att göra Re-Mapping Lagerlöf till en plattform för Lagerlöfforskning i många år framåt. Boken syftar också till att fungera som modell för tvärvetenskaplig forskning inom humaniora. Contributors: Jenny Bergenmar, University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
