Erik Johan Stagnelius (14 October 1793 – 3 April 1823) was a Swedish Romantic poet, playwright and romantic critic of political economy.[1]

1810 to 1840 was a time of blossoming in Swedish poetry, and there were several writers of distinguished merit, among them Esaias Tegnér, Erik Gustaf Geijer, Per Daniel Amadeus Atterbom and Stagnelius. The brief and mysterious life and death of Erik Johan Stagnelius have given a romantic interest to all that is connected with his name.[2]
