John Landquist (3 December 1881 in Stockholm – 2 April 1974 in Danderyd ) was a Swedish literary critic , literary scholar , writer and professor of pedagogy and psychology at Lund University from 1936 to 1946.
When Landquist studied at Uppsala University , he was a member of the student organization Les quatre diables together with Sven Lidman , Sigurd Agrell and Harald Brising .[ 1] Landquist was engaged in Strindbergsfejden and released August Strindberg 's works. In 1916 he wrote a monograph on Gustaf Fröding and was ready to introduce Sigmund Freud 's theory of manners into Swedish literary history . He also translated Freud's works into Swedish.
Landquist was married to Elin Wägner from 1910 to 1922 and later, from 1938, to Solveig Landquist.[ 2]
Landquist's critical review of the 1946 book Pippi Långstrump was the beginning of a newspaper debate where people protested against Astrid Lindgren 's manner of writing children's books.
In 1971 Landquist received "De Nios Stora Pris ".
