About Erik Johan Stagnelius (1793 - 1823) who was a Swedish Romantic poet and playwright. Stagnelius has been compared, and not improperly, to Shelley. Several of Stagnelius poems were translated into English by Edmund Gosse (1886). The bulk of his poetry was found in a sack in his shabby apartment after his death.
