Per Daniel Amadeus Atterbom (19 January 1790, Åsbo, Östergötland – 21 July 1855) was a Swedish romantic poet, and a member of the Swedish Academy.
Professor of Aesthetics and Philosophy at the University of Uppsala, he represents one of the most subversive tendencies of Swedish Romanticism, reflecting the aesthetic-religious revolution and the conservative-nationalistic devolution up to the medieval utopias.
He was extremely influenced by German Romanticism, especially Schelling, whom he met during his trip to Germany and Italy in 1817-1819.
