Comments
Poet, songwriter, composer and entertainer strongly influencing Swedish music and literature. Bellman has been compared to Shakespeare and Hogarth. His songs are still recorded by Scandinavian artists and also in other languages.
He is best known for two collections of poems set to music in the form of ditties, "Fredmans sånger" and "Fredmans epistlar", which contain some 80 works often dealing with drinking and prostitution, but elegantly humorous, romantic or satirical. Many 1st recordings and/or releases of those can't be verified, anymore.
Three main characters appearing in Bellman's works are clockmaker Fredman, musician Movitz and prostitute Ulla Winblad.
