Three Plays: Countess Julie, The Outlaw, The Stronger

Here are three of Strindberg’s best short plays—ones frequently performed—in the translation by Edith and Warner Oland, generally considered the best. Warner Oland is remembered by millions of movie fans as the famous Charlie Chan, but he was also a distinguished linguist and translator of Scandinavian literature. The cover is designed after a statue of Strindberg by Agnes Kjellberg-Frumeri.
