The Swedish poet Carl Michael Bellman (1740-1795) was one of the world's great song-writers. His exuberant characters include society's outcasts, many of them portrayed in great detail, with suffering and death frequently forming the backdrop for his often joyous poetry which gives unique glimpses of the living conditions in 17th-century Stockholm. The article is based on a study of the Swedish Bellman Society's "Standardupplaga", the complete edition in 19 volumes of the work of C.M. Bellman (published 1921-2001). Bellman described many of the most important diseases of his time. The descriptions are often mere depictions of symptoms and allusions to disease. They reflect Bellman's distinctive and extremely visual narrative technique, as well as the literary and social frames of reference of his time. It is argued that his frequent descriptions of suffering and death are among the reasons for, and not contradictory to, the reception he has received as a poet of life and joy.
瑞典诗人卡尔·米夏埃尔·贝尔曼（1740 - 1795）是世界上伟大的歌曲创作者之一。他笔下丰富多彩的人物包括社会弃儿，其中许多人物都被刻画得极为细致，苦难与死亡常常构成他那些欢快诗歌的背景，这些诗歌独特地展现了17世纪斯德哥尔摩的生活状况。本文基于对瑞典贝尔曼协会的《标准版》的研究，这是一部共19卷的C.M. 贝尔曼作品全集（出版于1921年至2001年）。贝尔曼描述了他那个时代的许多重要疾病。这些描述往往只是对症状的描绘以及对疾病的暗示。它们反映了贝尔曼独特且极具视觉感的叙事技巧，以及他那个时代的文学和社会参照框架。有人认为，他对苦难与死亡的频繁描述正是他被视为生活与欢乐诗人的原因之一，而非与之矛盾。
