This article traces the shift in classical philology to historical linguistics in Sweden, indicating the establishment of the Swedish school of philology.

Key Points

Sweden's classical philology evolved significantly from a late-humanist approach to a focus on historical linguistics, reshaping its academic identity.
Key figures include Olof August Danielsson and Per Persson, who established grammatical foundations for Swedish classical studies and emphasized linguistic analysis.
The debate on textual conservatism highlights the balance between preserving anomalies and embracing conjectural criticism among Swedish philologists like Einar Löfstedt.
Albert Wifstrand’s significant contributions, especially on late antique Greek poetry, reflect the Swedish school's methodological strengths and its impact on classical scholarship.
