Abstract

The Arvid Paulson Papers represent Paulson's attempts to bring the work of August Strindberg and Henrik Ibsen to a twentieth century American public. The collection contains his correspondence with actors, publishers and producers, the manuscripts of his translations, some of his published criticism on Strindberg and Ibsen as well as that of other authors. Finally, it contains miscellaneous theatre memorabilia culled from a long life spent going to the theatre, perfoming in plays and occasionally even producing them himself.

Biography of Arvid Paulson

Arvid Paulson (1888-1977) was an author, translator and actor. Born in Helsingborg, Sweden, he emigrated to the United States in 1904. Though he performed in many plays written by Strindberg and Ibsen, he is perhaps best known as a translator of their work.
