In order to frame the many alternative approaches to this issue, it examines the use of the term ?literary impressionism? not only on the Scandinavian scene but also in an international context. By focussing on three landmark discussions in the Nordic countries (Herman Bang, the Kristiania Bohème, August Strindberg), an inclusive, wide-ranging Scandinavian understanding of the relationship between impressionism and literature is advanced. The texts chosen for closer scrutiny disclose this extensive interpretation of impressionist writing: Helena Westermarck?s short story Aftonstämning (Evening Mood) from 1890 is read as an example of interart transposition, Stella Kleve?s novels and short stories are seen as indicative of the narrative modes of a literary impressionism drawing on scenic representation, but also present textual features such as the ?metonymic mode? and ?delayed decoding?, elements that are central to the international approach to impressionist prose. The concluding analysis of fictional impressionists in the works of authors such as Gustaf af Geijerstam, Mathilda Roos, and Georg Nordensvan sketches a many-sided portrait of the impressionist painter while remaining true to this study?s pluralistic approach by including a discussion of K.A. Tavaststjerna?s Impressionisten (The Impressionist) from 1892, whose protagonist is not an artist but a hypersensitive, impressionable subject. This last section also investigates how fiction is used to convey a critical discussion of the means and methods of painterly impressionism, as well as the function of the use of the visual arts in these texts. 517 $aLiterary impressionisms 606 $aSwedish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFinnish fiction (Swedish)$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aImpressionism in literature 606 $aArt and literature$zSweden$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aArt and literature$zFinland$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aSwedish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFinnish fiction (Swedish)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aImpressionism in literature. 615 0$aArt and literature$xHistory 615 0$aArt and literature$xHistory 700 $aStorskog$b Camilla$0919389 801 0$bFR-FrMaCLE 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910309939003321 996 $aLiterary Impressionisms$92062139 997 $aUNINA
