A chapter in Gösta Mittag-Leffler, 2010, pp 23-37 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The Mittag-Leffler villa was one of the sights that Stockholmers wanted to see when they went out to visit the new residential development in Djursholm. Another attraction was Viktor Rydberg’s villa “Ekeliden,” which was right nearby. A third well-known figure who had moved into the area early on was the liberal parliament member and newspaperman Ernst Beckman. Since its founding in 1889, Djursholm had become a rapidly developing suburb preferred by many of society’s most prominent citizens. In a short time it had become a fashionable place where broadmindedness and tolerance provided fertile ground for new ideas and initiatives. Many of the first inhabitants were academics with good salaries and radical interests. It was a good environment for raising children, and one distinguished family after another moved into the area. Djursholm was Sweden’s first planned residential development, and in Mittag-Leffler’s time it was a power center in a society that was undergoing a strong social, economic, and political transformation.
