EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Meeting of Literary Minds: Strindberg and Morgan in 1912". This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic Swedish playwright and novelist, Johan August Strindberg (1849-1912), in a thoughtful moment during a meeting with his contemporary, the renowned English author and literary critic, George Bernard Shaw's wife, Charlotte Shaw, better known as "Mrs. Shaw" or "Lady Morgan" (1852-1941). The image, taken in 1912, offers a rare glimpse into the personal lives of these two literary giants, who, despite their national differences, shared a deep appreciation for the written word and the power of the human imagination. Strindberg, a pioneering figure in modern Swedish literature, is depicted here in a plain, unassuming attire, his intense gaze fixed on the horizon, as if lost in thought. His literary output spanned various genres, including plays, novels, essays, and poetry, and his works often explored the complexities of human emotions, the supernatural, and the psychological. Mrs. Shaw, an influential figure in the literary world, is seen here in a stylish, turn-of-the-century outfit, her expression hinting at a keen intelligence and a subtle sense of amusement. She was a prolific writer, critic, and translator, known for her sharp wit and her ability to engage with contemporary issues in her works. The photograph, taken during Strindberg's visit to England, documents a significant moment in the history of Swedish and English literature, as these two literary giants came together to share their ideas, experiences, and insights. The image stands as a testament to the enduring power of literature to bridge cultural divides and foster intellectual exchange.
