C.V.A. Strandberg

Carl Vilhelm August Strandberg (16 January 1818– 5 February 1877), also known by his pen name Talis Qualis, was a Swedish poet and journalist. He was member of the Swedish Academy from 1862.

C.V.A. Strandberg was born in Stigtomta into a clerical family.[1] He was active as a student politician at Lund and proponent of Scandinavianism. Under his pen name he published collections of poetry such as Sånger i pansar (1845), Vilda rosor (1848) and Dikter (1854, 1861).[2] In 1844 he wrote the lyrics for the Swedish royal anthem Kungssången (despite previously having identified as republican).[1]

Strandberg also translated some foreign literature, the most notable being Don Juan by Lord Byron. As a journalist he wrote for Skånska Correspondenten in the 1840s and later became chief editor of Post- och Inrikes Tidningar.[2]
