Biography

He was born at Skeda in the Småland province. In 1879, he joined the staff of the Smålandsposten at Växjö, and in 1890 was made editor-in-chief of that newspaper. In addition to several volumes descriptive of Swedish peasant life, he wrote a series of humorous articles, published weekly in the Posten over the pseudonym “Sigurd.” A selection of the latter articles were collected and translated into German by Krusenstierna and Langfeldt, and entitled Allerlei Leute (Leipzig, 1892–97).

However, Krausism became very popular and influential in Restoration Spain not as a complete, comprehensive philosophical system per se, but as a broad cultural movement. In Spain, Krausism was known as "Krausismo", and Krausists were known as "Krausistas". Outside of Spain, the Spanish Krausist cultural movement was referred to as Spanish Krausism.
