Samlaren (= ~The Miscellany [literally ‘The Collector’]) is the oldest literature journal in Sweden, published since 1880 by the Swedish Society of Literature, seated in Uppsala. The journal appears in the form of a yearbook containing an article section and a review section. Its intended primary audience comprises scholars and teachers in the field of literature.
The article section welcomes academic contributions to research on Swedish and other Nordic literature. The extensive review section features reviews of virtually every Swedish doctoral dissertation in literature. There is moreover a section with reviews of other works about literature published both in Sweden and abroad.
Samlaren is the country’s most comprehensive periodical publication in the field of literature. It offers a unique opportunity to stay abreast of developments and theoretical debates in the field.
The Swedish Society of Literature’s own assets secure the long-term independent publication of Samlaren. Thanks to donations from the Sven and Dagmar Salén Foundation and the Foundation Olle Engkvist Building Contractor, it has been possible to digitize earlier volumes of Samlaren and make them available on the web.
