  1. Of or pertaining to Johan August Strindberg (1849–1912), Swedish playwright and novelist, or his works.

    In the 1950s the play was prized, above all, as a social document: an eloquent testament of alienated youth. Later it came to be seen as a Strindbergian study of a marriage steeped in love and hate.
