Carl Jonas Love Almqvist (Sweden, 1793 - Germany, 1866), was both a romantic poet, feminist, realist, composer, social critic and traveler.

During his life he found the time to write quite a few books and poems. Among them were some that dealt with his radical views on society and politics. These books caused the church and state to condemn him and call him a dangerous revolutionary. However, he still maintained power with his writings, and he is counted as one of the foremost Swedish social reformers of the 19th century. Alternative meaning: Nineteenth Century (periodical) (18th century — 19th century — 20th century — more centuries) As a means of recording the passage of time, the 19th century was that century which lasted from 1801-1900 in the sense of the Gregorian calendar. ...


His enemies tried all the harder to bring him low, and this might have been accomplished when he was accused of having tried to murder a shady business acquaintance with arsenic. If he was guilty or not will never be known, but he did panic and flee to the United States, where he spent most of his last years. There he took a new identity and married, and lived a life of obscurity in self-imposed exile. In 1865 he returned to Europe, took another identity and died in Germany the following year.
