By examining the historical novels and their changing perspectives on Swedish colonialism, we can follow how Sweden has attempted to grapple with the harsh reality of its colonial history from the end of World War II to today. The Nightmare and the Double Bind In his article "Nej, Sverige är inte en moralisk supermakt" (No, Sweden Is Not a Moral Superpower) in Svenska Dagbladet, author and historian Carl-Michael Edenborg recounts a number of aspects in which Sweden is in fact less progressive than it claims to be. Swedish colonialism is a nightmare, in which the colony confuses and mocks its witnesses. Ceton, who had to leave Sweden, later returns as the caretaker of the Tre Rosor estate, as Erik's father is now sick and weak. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Scandinavian Studies is the property of University of Wisconsin Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
