Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discourses on Ibsen We are, for the moment, in a country of beetling rocks and stupendous mountain chains, of wondrous bays and exquisitely beautiful inlets. We stand in the presence of terrifying precipices which run sheer from the mountain sides to the very billows of the deep. The rock-ribbed coast and the rock-bound fiords suggest invincibility. We stand awe-struck before the eternal snows. We see the pine striving to kiss the heavens. We behold the verdant grass striving to reach the summer sun. Like Country, Like Poet. Such a land naturally produces an adventurous and brave people. We are momentarily in the midst of a nation of Teutonic origin, as bold as the wind that dares to blow on every shore and sea, as hardy as the pine which stands erect amid every storm. We are in the home of the Vikings who feared no foe; and among the compatriots of those undaunted warriors there is none in modern times who embodies their spirit more than that fearless, faithful fighter, Henrik Ibsen. Though he possessed no Norwegian ancestry, he is the incarnation of the characteristics of those roving warriors of former days, who sheathed the sword in dread of none and who pushed their prows wherever fancy dictated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ibsen and the Drama The great misconception that commonly prevails with regard to the dramas of Ibsen furnishes us with our apology for this work. For although the report of them has by this time reached the ears of almost everyone, the various opinions which they have evoked are so confused and irreconcilable that their real nature must still be far from being generally known, and the unassisted enquirer, in attempting to disentangle the truth concerning them from the meshes in which it is now confined, is likely to become hopelessly perplexed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ibsen and His Creation: A Psycho-Critical Study Tins book is an attempt to deal, above all, with Ibsen as representative of modern consciousness. In this respect it may be considered a comple ment to the merely aesthetic or merely social criticisms of Ibsen and his works. Although the present study forms an independent whole, it is nevertheless inwardly connected with my psycho-critical study of Dostoevsky (dostoevsky and bis Creation, Collins) and also with two other studies which are to follow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ibsen on His Merits The "excuse" for this volume is partly to be found in the recently revived interest of English people in the vogue of Ibsen; and partly in the fact that, with the exception of Mr. Bernard Shaw, practically no one in this country has had courage or encouragement sufficient to issue in permanent form any lengthy appreciation or criticism of Dr. Ibsen's works. A portion of Sir Edward Russell's contribution was originally delivered in the form of a public lecture, but is now carefully revised and brought up to date.

Download or read book Henrik Ibsen a Critical Study Vol 5 Classic Reprint written by R. Ellis Roberts and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Henrik Ibsen a Critical Study, Vol. 5 In writing this study I have used Mr. Archer's definitive edition of Henrik Ibsen's works; also the earlier editions of his versions issued by Walter Scott. I have also used the current Norwegian editions of separate plays, but have not seen the final collected issue. The translations from Digte and Peer Gynt are my own; those from Brand and the Prose Plays are based on Mr. Garrett's version, and Mr. Archer's, but I have not scrupled to alter a phrase if I felt I could get closer to Ibsen's meaning and to English idiom; the same confession must be made with regard to citations from Ibsen's letters, which are in the main taken from Miss Morison's edition. I need hardly say that, when I have altered, I have only done so after considerable thought; I appreciate fully the enormous difficulty of translating Ibsen, and believe that in this work we shall only reach success by the continued efforts of different hands. The quotations at the beginning of the various chapters are all from Ibsen's letters or speeches. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Hebbel Ibsen and the Analytic Exposition Classic Reprint written by Thomas Moody Campbell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hebbel, Ibsen and the Analytic Exposition A definition of the analytic exposition is by no means so easy to formulate as may be supposed. The action sets in immediately before the crisis the action is nothing but a revelation of the past and a discus sion of its effect on the present; the exposition is dramatized: these and similar statements do indeed apply to the analytic exposition, but not exclusively. The function of an exposition is to put the audience in possession of certain antecedent facts necessary to the understanding of the situation when the play be gins. If there are no antecedent circumstances, that is if the dramatist begins at the very beginning of the entire action, there is no need of an exposition. We see everything occurring before us. This is the usual Shakespearean method. If, however, he selects a later point in the course of the action with which to open, he must let us know what precedes that; he must have an exposition. This may be as formal, as conventional as he pleases; or it may also be highly dramatized. Moreover it may acquaint us, the audi ence, with only a part of the antecedent material, or with the whole of it: that is, we may be told every thing in advance of the persons in the play, and then enjoy seeing them discover what we know; or we may discover a part along with them. Finally, we may be told nothing at all in advance, in which case we be come, as it were, innocent bystanders, gathering ourinformation by bits and shreds, forming our opinion by what we see and hear, along with the persons con cerned and not in advance of them. In other words, we again arrive at a dramatic form that really has no exposition at all in the proper sense of the word. We simply see the play and understand it or not, as best we can. Thus a drama may begin at the very begin ning and have no exposition, or it may set in just before the crisis and have none. In both cases action and exposition coincide.

Download or read book Love s Comedy Classic Reprint written by Henrik Ibsen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Love's Comedy Love's Comedy is without doubt the finest of the few plays of Ibsen which still remain inaccessible to the English reader. It belongs, like Brand and Peer Gynt, to the early noontide of his genius, and exhibits in a cruder form, that union of philosophic reflection with the happy valiancy and abounding resource of youth, which is the special grace of the early thirties. To the reader of the Social Dramas, and especially to the reader who has enjoyed their subject-matter but resented their studied banality of form, Love's Comedy should be highly congenial; for it handles a kindred theme with radiant vivacity and verve, and presents, through a medium charged with eloquence and imagery, a picture not less dramatic and alive, of the same society. Ibsen had here, in fact, struck for the first time the rich vein which the last thirty years of his life have been devoted to working out; and he hewed it with ringing strokes in the first ardour of discovery. Love's Comedy marks the true inception of the Social Dramas it may even be held to contain them in the germ.

Download or read book The Works of Henrik Ibsen written by Henrik Ibsen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 912 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Henrik Ibsen: The League of Youth; Pillars of Society; Rosmersholm; The Lady From the Sea While the comedy was still in process of conception, Ibsen had written to his publisher: This new, peaceable work is giving me great pleasure. It thus appears that he considered it less polemical in its character than the poems which had immediately preceded it. If his in tentions-were pacific, they were entirely frustrated. The play was regarded as a violent and wanton attack on the Norwegian Liberal party, while Stensgard was taken for a personal lampoon on bjornson. Its first performance at the Christiania Theatre (october 18, 1869) passed quietly enough; but at the second and third performances an organised Opposition took the field, and disturbances amounting almost to a riot Occurred. Public feeling soon calmed down, and the play (the first prose c'omedy of any importance in Norwegian literature) became one Of the most popular pieces in the repertory of the theatre. But it led to an estrangement from bjornson and the Liberal party which was not healed for many a day - not, indeed, until Ghosts had shown the Norwegian public the folly of attempting to make party capital out of the works of a poet who stood far above party.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Quintessence of Ibsenism IN the pages which follow I have made no at tempt to tamper with the work of the bygone man of thirty-five who wrote them. I have never ad mitted the right of an elderly author to alter the work of a young author, even when the young author happens to be his former self. In the case of a work which is a mere exhibition of skill in conventional art, there may be some excuse for the delusion that the longer the artist works on it the nearer he will bring it to perfection. Yet even the victims of this delusion must see that there is_ an age limit to the process, and that though a man of forty-five may improve the work manship of a man of thirty-five, it does not follow that a man of fifty-five can do the same.
