Earlier issues can be found at the society’s homepage: http://svelitt.se/samlaren/.

Samlaren presently welcomes contributions to this year’s issue. Samlaren aims to be an inclusive arena for research on Swedish and Nordic literature and welcomes high-quality contributions on all subjects within these general frames.

This year’s issue will also feature a thematic section on “Sound”. The theme emerges from the Swedish Society for Literature’s Autumn meeting in 2024. Samlaren therefore especially welcomes contributions that, in a wide sense, can be included under that heading.
