A Swedish poet; born at Kongelf in Bohuslan, 1759; died at Greifswald, 1808. His poetry was of less influence on the thought of his day than his polemics. One of these, "A Critique of the Critics, with a Project of a Code for the Kingdom of Genius" (1791), had much to do with the development of Swedish poetry. He wrote also "Maximum, or Archimetria" (1799), an attempt at a system of philosophy.
