Getting Married I was written in 1884, when Strindberg was
thirty-five.-He was already the author of a considerable body of
work, plays, prose, and poetry, much of it heartily disliked by
many of his fellow-countrymen. To escape from their recrimina-
tions he had taken refuge in Switzerland, where he was living
with his wife and family at Ouchy, near Lausanne. He and his
wife, Siri yon Essen, had been more or less happy together for
seven years, and had three children, two girls and a baby boy. Siri
had been married before, but had left her first husband, Baron
Wrangel, and married Strindberg partly because she hoped that
through him she would be able to achieve her ambition to become
an actress, a profession impossible for the wife of an officer. Her
hopes had only been partially realized, as her talent was small, and
while Strindberg was happy and contented in Switzerland, Siri
was longing to return to Sweden to continue her career.
Strindberg wrote Getting Married I (that is the preface, the
interview, and twelve stories) at breakneck speed between z 5 May
and 4 July. While working on it he was in a state of creative frenzy.
"I m writing like a sleep-walker, and must not be awakened, for
then I might come to a standstill in the middle of it", he wrote to
Karl Otto Bonnier, his publisher s son, on iz June (B. IV, p. 21o).
This does not mean that the stories were a new idea. Strindberg
had been planning them for several years, and may even have done
some preparatory work on them. In his letters of 188o-81 he
several times mentions a prospective work which may have been
the germ of Getting Married L But other things intervened, and in
i88z he was fully occupied with no less than five works, includ-
ing The New State (Det Nya Riket, SS. io), and The Swedish
People (Svens/ea folke
