Sven Stolpe (24 August 1905 – 26 August 1996) was a Swedish writer, translator, journalist, literary scholar and critic, who was active in Swedish literary and intellectual discussion for most of his life.[1]
In the early 1930s, he argued for internationalism and against aestheticism, but he was also part of the Oxford Group which claimed the necessity of "moral and spiritual re-armament" and later in life, in 1947, he became a Catholic.[2] Among his literary production is a 1959 dissertation on Queen Christina of Sweden, who abdicated as a result of her own conversion to Catholicism.[3]
In 1984, the Belgian biographer Joris Taels published a biography of Stolpe.[4]
