Life
The daughter of the Swedish court marshal Zelow married the Colonel Baron Sebastian von Knorring in 1820 . After she had already written short stories and short stories in her seventh year, she published her first novel Cousinerna anonymously in 1834 , which caused an unusual stir.
Even belonging to higher society, Sophie von Knorring preferred to describe life in these circles, light and lively, in a way that testifies to fine observation; but she also knew how to extract its characteristic sides from popular life. Most of her novels have also been translated into German.
