Peter Englund
Peter Mikael Englund is a Swedish author and
historian born on April 4, 1957. He focuses on writing
non-fiction books and essays, mostly about the
Swedish Empire and other historical events. Englund is known for his accessible writing style, which includes narrative details that are often left out in traditional history books. His works have been translated into multiple languages, including German and Czech. From 2009 to 2015, Englund served as the permanent secretary of the
Swedish Academy, before being succeeded by
Sara Danius. In January 2019, he and fellow academy member
Kjell Espmark announced their return as active members of the Swedish academy, where they had been inactive since April 2018.
