Biography
She was born on November 28, 1718 in Stockholm and was the youngest of five children of the official Anders Andersson Nordbohm , 1675-1734, and his wife Christina Rosin. In 1727, her father was ennobled (honored) with the surname Nordenflicht. After his father retired in 1730, the family settled on the Viby estate in Harbo Parish .
Hedwig received mainly home education: she was taught by Johan Tideman ( Johan Tideman , 1710–1737), a graduate of Christopher Polchem , who was the teacher of her brother Anders ( Anders Nordenflycht , 1710–1740). In 1734, against her will, Hedwig was engaged to Johan Tideman. She did not consider him physically attractive, and the engagement was interrupted by Tydemann's early death.
On April 23, 1741, Hedwig Nordenflicht married (1704-1741), who was her French teacher and before marriage, was appointed Chaplain of the Admiralty in Karlskrona . This marriage was happy for Hedwig, but very short: Jacob fell ill and died in December 1741. Hedwig became depressed and left Karlskrona in a rented cottage in Lidingö, near Stockholm . There she wrote a collection of poems Den sörgande turtur-dufvan (1943), expressing her feelings after the loss of a loved one.
Nordenflicht returned after mourning in Stockholm. At this moment, her economic situation worsened, and she was forced to independently support herself, deciding to earn a living with her literary talent. In 1742, she wrote the poem Svenska fruntimrets klagan about Queen Eleanor Ulrike . In the same year, she applied for a pension to the Admiralty after the death of her husband, and it was satisfied the following year thanks to the intervention of the king, who referred to her literary talent. Hedwig wrote several more verses for the royal house, and in 1747 she was assigned a small allowance from the crown princess Louise Ulrike . After the great Stockholm fire of 1751, she and her mother lost their home, after which they turned to the Riksdag for help and received an annual living allowance in 1752. As a result, Nordenfliht’s finances were settled, and Hedwig was able to concentrate on literary activity without worrying about financial problems.
On April 14, 1753, Hedwig Nordenfliht became a member of the literary community Tankebyggarorden , receiving the name "Uranie" there . She created her own literary salon, where she was closely associated with Gustav Philippe Kreutz and Gustav Gillenborg .
In 1762, Hedwig settled in a small villa that she built near Skukkloster Castle, calling it Lugnet ("Calm"). During this period of time, she fell in love with , seventeen years younger than her. Fisherström, born in 1735, was a student at Lund University with radical ideas and literary interests. Hedwig Nordenfliht met him in Tankebyggarorden circles. She made sure that Johan got a position in the Scheö estate, where her friend Katarina Charlotte Delagardi lived. However, Johan Fischerström began to care for Delagardi, creating a love triangle and making the situation unbearable for Nordenfliht. As a result, according to one version, Hedwig committed suicide, according to another, she caught a cold and fell ill, crossing the stream that separated her villa from Delagardi Castle. Be that as it may, contemporaries reported that by this time she was suffering from a disease whose symptoms were like cancer .
She died on June 29, 1763 in the Uppsala County.
