(Charles Wharton Stork, "Verner von Heidenstam"...)

Of these there are surely few that would be more rewarding discoveries than Verner_von_Heidenstam , the Swedish poet and novelist who received the award in 1916 and whose centennial was celebrated two years ago .

On his father 's side he was of German descent , on his mother 's he came of the old Swedish nobility .

Of the longer pieces of the volume none is so memorable as `` Nameless_and_Immortal '' , which at_once took rank among the finest poems ever written in the Swedish language .

Almost nothing is said of Charles ' spectacular victories , the central theme being the heroic loyalty of the Swedish people to their idolized king in misfortune and defeat .

Heidenstam wrote four other works of fiction about earlier figures revered in Swedish memory .
