Excerpt from Master Olof: A Drama in Five Acts Up to that time he had produced half-a-dozen plays, one of which had been performed at the Royal Theatre of Stockholm and had Won him the good-will and finan cial support of King Carl XV. Thus he had been able to return to the University of Upsala, whence he had been driven a year earlier by poverty as well as by spiritual revolt. During his second term of study at the Old uni versity Strindberg wrote some plays that he subsequently destroyed.
