This academic thesis from 1859 explores the historical and cultural significance of the Robin Hood ballads. As a scholarly text from the nineteenth century, it features formal, somewhat archaic Swedish vocabulary and complex sentence structures. The language is sophisticated and reflective of the academic style of its era. Readers will encounter detailed discussions on folklore and literature. It is a demanding read that requires patience, as the prose is dense and relies on historical context to explain the evolution of these legendary songs.

Questions about this book
What level of Swedish do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 2 h 18 min at a native pace, spread over 5 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
