Review of “Bödaupproret år 1850” (1998)

Text

Kurt Lundgren (writer).

Read in 2024.

A peasant uprising on Öland, over recently curtailed rights to the island’s only forest, sees a rare intervention by the army.

Well worth reading as a glimpse into the driving forces of The Emigrants (1949), which was set in a neighbouring province.
