Klas Pontus Arnoldson was born at Göteborg City in 1844. His recorded nationality is Sweden.
The nineteenth century professionalised nearly everything: salaried posts, formal training, and audiences large enough to sustain a career.
Klas Pontus Arnoldson is described as politician and opinion journalist.
What survives of a political career is usually not the speeches but the institutions left behind.
Formal recognition came in the shape of the Nobel Peace Prize (1908).
