He referred to his diary from this period as his Occult Diary and used it to help him decipher the world as he experienced it. He read and reread his own notations, adding new interpretations, and deleting others. He also drew on the diary as material for creative expression, transforming isolated events and observations into groundbreaking works of literature. The Occult Diary is published here in its entirety in English translation for the first time, in a final revision by Ann-Charlotte Gavel Adams and with an introduction by Per Stam. The Occult Diary is a key resource for international Strindberg scholars and theater professionals and more broadly for scholars focusing on drama, theater history, stage performance, and literary currents at the turn of the previous century. The diary initiates the reader into the writer?s inner world during a crucial transitional period in his personal and literary life. It documents his readings and observations and gives important clues and information about an ongoing process of artistic reorientation. Strindberg was exploring new ways of looking at, interpreting, and writing about nature, science, art, the occult, and his fellow human beings. 517 $aAugust Strindberg 606 $aBiography & True Stories$2bicssc 606 $aEclectic & esoteric religions & belief systems$2bicssc 606 $aLiterary studies: general$2bicssc 606 $aPhilosophy$2bicssc 606 $aReligion: general$2bicssc 606 $aTheatre studies$2bicssc 610 $aTheatre History; Alchemy; Occultism; Letters; Diaries; Biography; August Strindberg 615 7$aBiography & True Stories 615 7$aEclectic & esoteric religions & belief systems 615 7$aLiterary studies: general 615 7$aPhilosophy 615 7$aReligion: general 615 7$aTheatre studies 700 $aStam$b Per$4edt$01290116 702 $aGavel Adams$b Ann-Charlotte$4edt 702 $aEngwall$b Gunnel$4edt 702 $aStam$b Per$4oth 702 $aGavel Adams$b Ann-Charlotte$4oth 702 $aEngwall$b Gunnel$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910634063003321 996 $aAugust Strindberg: The Occult Diary$93021343 997 $aUNINA
