BESKOW, BERNHARD VON, BARON (1796-1868) , Swedish dramatist and historian, son of a Stockholm
merchant
 , was born on the 19th of
April
  1796. His vocation for literature was assisted by his tutor, the poet Johan
Magnus
  Stjernstolpe (1777-1831), whose works he edited. He entered the civil service in 1814, was ennobled in 1826 and received the
title
  of baron in 1843. He held high appointments at
court
 , and was, from 1834 onwards, perpetual secretary of the Swedish
academy
 , using his
great
 
influence
  with tact and generosity. His poetry is over-decorated, and his plays are grandiose historical poems in dramatic form. Among them are " Erik XIV." (2 parts, 1826); and four pieces collected (1836-1838) as Dramatiska Studier, the most famous of which is the tragedy of " Thorkel Knutsson." His works include many academical memoirs, volumes of poems,
philosophy
  and a valuable historical study,
Om Gustav den Tredje sdsom konung och menniska (5 vols. 186o-186q, " Gustavus III. as king and man "), printed in the transactions of the Swedish
Academy
  (vols. 32, 34, 37, 42, 44). He died on the 17th of October 1868.
