Dan Andersson (6 April 1888 in Ludvika – 16 September 1920 in Stockholm)[1] was a Swedish author, poet, and composer. He sometimes used the pen name Black Jim. Although he is counted among the Swedish proletarian authors, his works are not limited to that genre.[2] His poems are among the most popular in Swedish literature; they have been set to music by more composers than any other 20th century Swedish poet.
