Nach der Ehe mit Frida Uhl durchlebte Strindberg eine ausgesprochen düstere Phase seines Lebens, in der er unter Wahnvorstellungen, Realitätsverlust und Depressionen litt. Sie wird "Inferno-Krise" genannt, da Strindberg die Erfahrungen dieser Zeit vor allem in dem Roman Inferno, Legenden in Form von autobiografischen, teilweise verklärten Aufzeichnungen verarbeitete. Es ist auch die Zeit, in der Strindberg begann, wissenschaftliche und alchemistische Versuche zu machen. In gewisser Weise gelang es ihm, sich "frei zu schreiben" und so seine psychische Krise zu überwinden. In den folgenden sechs Jahren schrieb er mehr als 25 Stücke. August Strindberg (1849-1912) war ein schwedischer Schriftsteller und Künstler.
