['Edgren is a universal genius, [...] a talent that belongs exclusively to no single particular nation, or to one or another class. […] Though Sweden may have the honour of counting her among her citizens, all civilised nations have an equal right to the fruits of her genius, since she dissects those passions, expresses those feelings, which have not a particular national, but a general human character. That is why she is predestined to become the favourite author of the whole civilised world, and Miss Wijsman has done excellent work, in translating some of her novels into good Dutch.\n(cit. in Broomans 2003; transl.
