The L wensk ld Ring (1925) is the first volume of the trilogy considered to have been Selma Lagerl f's last work of prose fiction. Set in the Swedish province of V rmland in the eighteenth century, the narrative traces the consequences of the theft of General L wensk ld's ring from his coffin, and develops into a disturbing tale of revenge from beyond the grave. It is also a tale about decisive women. The narrative twists and the foregrounding of alternative interpretations confront the reader with a pervasive sense of ambiguity. Along with the narrative technique, the spell of the ring extends into the two subsequent volumes, Charlotte L wensk ld (1925) and Anna Sv rd (1928).
