history
The aim of the group was to pave the way for modernist poetry. The opponents of this poetry had their "last outpost" in the student Lund, which was shaped by the 1920s ideal . At the beginning of the 1950s, the active members published in the VOX calendar , which was the club's own organ. Some also published their work in the student newspaper Lundagård . During this time the group consisted of the authors Anna Rydstedt , Majken Johansson , Göran Printz-Påhlson , Ingemar Leckius , Åsa Wohlin , Lennart Fröier , Bo Strömstedt , Tryggve Emond and Harald Swedner . The latter was a key philosophical and poetological figure and driving force in the club's early years. He stood for program ideas and was chairman from 1950 to 1951 and deputy chairman in the fall semester of 1951. He was also the editor of the VOX III calendar , which appeared in spring 1951. Within the club there was great interest in New Criticism , which would not gain a foothold in Sweden until a decade later. Above all, it was Göran Printz-Påhlson, Majken Johansson and Harald Swedner who gave introductions and initiated discussions.
Ingemar Leckius said in an interview with Lasse Söderberg in 1975 about the Lundaskola:
“Lundaskolan var en krets av vänner. För övrigt var det en literaturkritisk myt "
“Lundaskola was a group of friends. Otherwise it was a literary-critical myth. "
