Since then, it has been reprinted, translated, performed, and used in the most surprising contexts, in different corners of the world. This particular case may be rather exceptional, but Gunilla Hermansson argues that the underlying dynamics are not - and yet they have been underexposed in studies of literary history. The exploration of 'Vårvindar friska' uncovers new facets of how people have engaged with word art in their everyday lives in the modern era"--
