In 1862 he published Bibelns lära om Kristus (The Bible's Teaching about Christ), an essay denying the divinity of Christ, which drew attention, and he went on to write a wide variety of novels, poems, and essays. In 1876 he published a translation of the first part of Goethe's Faust, and became a lecturer in cultural history at Gothenburg University, and in 1884 a professor at Stockholm University.

In the 1880s, he mainly studied mythology, and compiled the results of his research in Undersökningar i germanisk mytologi (Investigations into Germanic Mythology) (2 volumes, 1886-89).
