"Edith" is a novel by written by Ernst Brunner. The book is dedicated to the Finnish-Swedish poetess of the early 20th century Edith Södergran (1892-1923). A native of St. Petersburg, she wrote poetry in Swedish and spent her creative life in a small Karelian village, Raivola, on the territory of the Grand Duchy of Finland, where she published her poetry.
