Five young. Young literary anthology. Erik Asklund - Josef Kjellgren - Artur Lundkvist - Harry Martinson - Gustav Sandgren. Albert Bonnier's publisher, Stockholm, 1929. 8vo in a red cloth binding with gilt spine text and sparse gilt spine decoration. Front cover bound. 152 p.
Fem unga was a brick wall for young workers' literature in Sweden, almost a program script. The anthology challenged the prevailing literary conventions with its free verse forms and the authors' advocacy of primitivism and the "life worship" of all aspects of existence attracted attention. The young writers were influenced by poets such as Walt Whitman, Carl Sandburg, Langston Hughes and Elmer Diktonius and also took impressions from Futurism.
Provenance. Museum curator and art historian Jan Torsten Ahlstrand, Lund.
The bound cover with signature and slightly discolored margins. Small strip of tape at the inner hem.
