Published alongside the National Theatre premiere of the mesmeric but little-known play by the woman who was reputedly a model for Miss Julie and Hedda Gabler.
One sunny day in Paris, Gustave Alland, famous artist and philanderer, visits Louise Strandberg - convalescing in her brother's studio - and casts her effortlessly under his spell. In a vain attempt to escape, she exiles herself to her provincial hometown in Sweden. But a letter propels her back to Paris and into his arms. And for a brief moment, ecstasy is hers.
'an extraordinary play... Clare Bayley's immaculate version is a major act of reclamation' - Guardian
'Many thanks to Clare Bayley, who has unearthed and translated this fascinating play... an astonishingly mature work... a cry for equality that still resonates today' - The Times
She is known mainly for her novels dealing with social issues as well as a number of stories about country life and other novels dealing with social issues. Her play, The Enchantment (written in 1850), was only discovered and published after her death and not performed until 1910.
Following the success of her novel Money (published under a male synonym), Victoria Benedictsson moved to Stockholm, where she quickly became involved in literary circles, befriending Ibsen and Strindberg, who supposedly based the character of Miss Julie on her. At that time she also met the literary critic Georg Brandes, with whom she embarked on a scandalous and very public affair. Following his rejection of her as a lover, and, more importantly, a writer (he refused to review her novel), she committed suicide in 1888.
