Gunilla Bergsten
1933–1988.
Literary scholar.
Gunilla Bergsten was an associate professor in literary studies and mainly devoted to German literature, both in academic and popular science circles.
In 1963 she defended her thesis, Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus , who attracted a great deal of international attention. It came to mean a lot to Thomas Mann research, because it skilfully sorted out the structure of Mann's novel design while presenting a comprehensive, previously unknown source material.
Gunilla was also theater critic for many years in the paper Upsala Nya Tidning.
