Almost certainly a hoax and not a particularly convincing one. Even if such a forgotten Swedish poet (of Dutch descent?) had existed, the fact that the book isn't found in
LIBRIS shows that he wouldn't be notable enough for an article.

Delete, not a single source found, and bears many hallmarks of a hoax: the unlikely first name change from Peder to Eric, the Dutch-sounding last name and the spelling of "Eric" (the spelling of "Erik" with a c existed, rarely, in the 19th century but mostly in the nobility), the purported title of his book (in Swedish that's one word, not two)... If he was recently discovered there would have been something written about him, but there isn't. --bonadeacontributionstalk 14:19, 11 August 2016 (UTC)reply
Delete -- it is unclear if this writer exists. The book not being listed in LIBRIS is a red flag.

Delete: not a single source found on any search term; obvious hoax. — SamSailor 23:21, 18 August 2016 (UTC)reply
