Von Heidenstam was the son of Gustaf von Heidenstam, an engineer, and Magdalena Charlotta von Heidenstam (n\u00e9e R\u00fctterski\u00f6ld).[3] He was educated at Beskowska skolan in Stockholm.He studied painting in the Academy of Stockholm but soon left because of ill health. He then traveled extensively in Europe, Africa and the Orient.[4]Literary career[edit]He was at once greeted as a poet of promise on the publication of his first collection of poems,Vallfart och vandrings\u00e5r (Pilgrimage: the Wander Years, 1888). It is a collection of poems inspired by his experiences in the orient and marks an abandonment of naturalism that was dominant then in Swedish literature.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4His love for beauty is also shown by the long narrative poem Hans Alienus (1892). Dikter (“Poems”, 1895) and Karolinerna (The Charles Men, 2 vols., 1897\u20131898), a series of historical portraits of King Charles XII of Sweden and his cavaliers, shows a strong nationalistic passion.[6][7] English translations of short stories from Karolinerna can be found in the American-Scandinavian Review (New York), May 1914, November 1915, and July 1916. The two volumes of Folkunga Tr\u00e4det (The Tree of the Folkungs, 1905\u201307) are the inspired, epic story of a clan of Swede chieftains in the Middle Ages.In 1910 a controversy was waged in Swedish newspapers between a number of Swedish literary men on the topic of the proletarian \u201cdegradation\u201d of literature, the protagonists of the two opposing camps being August Strindberg and von Heidenstam. Professors Lidforss and B\u00f6\u00f6k also took part. von Heidenstam’s chief contribution was the pamphlet, directed chiefly against Strindberg, “Prolet\u00e4rfilosofiens uppl\u00f6sning och fall” (“The Decline and Fall of the Proletarian Philosophy”).[8]von Heidenstam’s poetical collection Nya Dikter, published in 1915, deals with philosophical themes, mainly concerning the elevation of man to a better humanity from solitude.Personal life[edit]Von Heidenstam’s very last residence at \u00d6vralid\u00d6vralid’s libraryHe died at his home \u00d6vralid on 20 May 1940.Fr\u00e5n Col di Tenda till Blocksberg , pictures of travel (1888)Vallfart och vandrings\u00e5r (1888)Ren\u00e4ssans (1889)Endymion (1889, novel)Hans Alienus (1892)Dikter (1895)Karolinerna (The Charles Men, 1897\u201398, novel)Sankt G\u00f6ran och draken (1900)Klassizit\u00e4t und Germanismus (published in German, Vienna 1901)[9]Heliga Birgittas pilgrimsf\u00e4rd (Saint Bridget’s Pilgrimage, 1901)Ett folk  (1902)Skogen susar (The Forest Whispers, 1904)Folkungatr\u00e4det (The Tree of the Folkungs, 2 volumes, 1905\u20131907)Svenskarna och deras h\u00f6vdingar (1910, historical lectures)Nya Dikter (1915).Works in English translationA King and his Campaigners (1902)The Soothsayer (1919)Sweden’s Laureate.
