Bo Andersson is a Professor in the Department of Modern Languages at Uppsala University. His research primarily focuses on the language and culture of the 17th century. He conducted a rhetorical analysis of a work by the shoemaker and philosopher Jacob Böhme, showcasing how Böhme presented himself as an uneducated craftsman challenging traditional authority. This perspective led to widespread influence in the literary culture of Europe during his time. Andersson has significantly contributed to the understanding of Böhme's writing styles and cognitive linguistic images. His recent interests encompass the German language and culture in 17th-century Sweden, with ongoing research in punctuation history and the publication of Aurora von Königsmarck's spiritual lyrics. He employs a culturally historical perspective and modern linguistic theories in his analyses of older texts, reflecting a commitment to contextualize literary works within their theological, political, and gender historical backgrounds. He is a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and the Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala.
