Life
Gunhild Bergh was born on 20 December 1888, in Gävle. She was the daughter of the chief physician of the county hospital, Шаблон:Ill, and his wife Alfhild Bergh.[1] She had four siblings, Gunnar, Ragnar, Einar and Karin.[2] She went to the coeducational Whitlockska skolan in Stockholm, receiving her school leaving certificate in 1907. She was admitted to Uppsala University in the same year to study literary history and languages.[1]
In 1911, she received her bachelor's degree and, in 1914, her licentiate in philosophy. On 26 May 1916 she defended her doctoral dissertation in literary history as the second Swedish woman to do so, on a thesis entitled "Litterär kritik i Sverige under 1600-1700-talen" (Literary criticism in Sweden during the 17th and 18th centuries).[3][1]
Bergh then devoted herself to studies of Swedish naval officer, painter, author, and neo-classical architect, Carl August Ehrensvärd. In 1916 and 1917, she published several of his letters and stories in two volumes.[1][4]
She then started travelling to Rome, and continued to, until she decided to stay and live there from 1920.[5] Between 1922 and 1925, she published Ehrensvärd's collected writings in three volumes. In addition to literary works, she also used to do news reporting for newspapers and magazines.[1]
Gunhild Bergh remained unmarried throughout her life. She died on 10 September 1961, in Rome. She was buried at the Verano cemetery.[1]
