Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ibsen in England Since Ibsen has in uenced modern English drama as has no other single playwright, and since Ibsen aroused the most interesting controversy in the history of the modern English theatre, it is essential that the student of con temporary English drama should thoroughly understand the part that Ibsen played in the literary and theatrical England of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This thesis is the result of an attempt to gather together in a single volume the material necessary to an apprecia tion of Ibsen's place in the history of English drama. For much of the material on Gosse's introduction of Ibsen to England, I am indebted to F. C. Hansen's bac calaureate thesis on Ibsen in England, University of Wisconsin. In Dr. Lee M. Hollander's bibliography in Speeches and New Letters of Ibsen, there may be found a list of many of the translations, performances, and commentaries on Ibsen in England and America. As far as I have been able to ascertain, these have been the only detailed works on the subject of Ibsen in Eng land, and both Mr. Hansen and Dr. Hollander have limited themselves to only a portion of the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ibsen In these pages, where the space at my disposal was so small, I have not been willing to waste it by repeating the plots of any of those plays of Ibsen which are open to the English reader. It would please me best if this book might be read in connection with the final edition of Ibsen's Complete Dramatic Works, now being prepared by Mr. Archer. If we may judge of the whole work by those volumes of it which have already appeared, I have little hesitation in saying that no other foreign author of the second half of the nineteenth century has been so ably and exhaustively edited in English as Ibsen has been in this instance.

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 A Doll s House written by Henrik Ibsen and published by Arcturus Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03-15 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At first glance, Nora Helmer appears to live the perfect life. She is married to the ambitious banker Torvald and is well provided for. But when she is blackmailed by one of her husband's colleagues, she is forced to re-examine her life along with her role as a frivolous, scatter-brained wife. First published in 1879, A Doll's House scandalized contemporary audiences and rewrote the rules of drama. It challenged notions of women's place in society and questioned every aspect of what constituted good conduct in domestic life. Ibsen's masterpiece was the first serious play to focus on ordinary people in everyday situations rather than on the lives of the upper classes. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Classics series brings together high-quality paperback editions of classics works, presented with contemporary graphic cover designs. Together they make a wonderful collection which is perfect for any home library.

Download or read book Henrik Ibsen written by Ina Ten Eyck Firkins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Henrik Ibsen: A Bibliography of Criticism and Biography; With an Index to Characters The following bibliography has been compiled to meet a general rather than a scholarly need. It is for this reason that the subject index has been expanded beyond the limits required by the Ibsen specialist. While it is hoped that the bibliography will not be despised by the expert, it has been the convenience of the library assistant, the college student and the ubiquitous club Woman that the compiler has had in mind throughout its preparation. No attempt has been made to compile a complete list of Ibsen's writings. The work of Dr. J. B. Halvorsen has rendered that service unnecessary. Therefore a brief list of the best Norwegian and English editions is all that has been included. The attempt has been made to provide a list of the best available critical and biographical material relat ing to Henrik Ibsen, and to present it in such a form as will meet satisfactorily the constant demand for information about special phases of the great dramatist's work. The bibliography has been compiled through examina tion of the books in local collections, in the Library of Con gress, in Columbia University Library, and in the New York Public Library. The American, English, French, Italian, German and Scandinavian national bibliographies, the gen eral and special indexes to periodicals and all available refer ence lists have been consulted.

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.

Download or read book Love s Comedy Classic Reprint written by Henrik Ibsen and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Love's Comedy The novel anticipated the play in its vigorous attack upon the current usages of courtship and marriage. But Fru Collet's quarrel with them rested on wholly different grounds. With her, the trouble lay in the restrictions imposed by social usage upon the free course of love. She pleaded for the right of woman to bestow her heart where she would. She belonged, in fact, to a mild variety of the revolutionary Romantic for whom love is the sole condition of happiness and outward control the only source of danger to love. Marriage for love was her last word. For Ibsen, as we have seen, this was the very disease to be combated. He derided the ceremonious conventionalities of fashionable love-making as trenchantly as she; not, however, because they suppressed or constrained love, but because they gave it organised expression and definite form. At bottom, his position was not so much the antithesis of hers, as its extreme development He too is a revolutionary Romantic, whose last words are emancipation and love. Only, his "emancipation" of love is so transcendent as to threaten to "emancipate" it from the very conditions of its material existence. His freedom is only fulfilled when the captive is delivered from the thraldom of blood and breath; when it escapes the "prison of the actual," and dies that it may live. In his interesting introduction to this play in the German edition of Ibsen's works (Berlin: Fischer, 1899), George Brandes, who first discussed its relation to Fru Collet's novel, has criticised the denoument with much severity. Falk and Svanhild part because they have not confidence that their love will last, if they marry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Intellectual Life of the British Working Classes written by Jonathan Rose and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Which books did the British working classes read--and how did they read them? How did they respond to canonical authors, penny dreadfuls, classical music, school stories, Shakespeare, Marx, Hollywood movies, imperialist propaganda, the Bible, the BBC, the Bloomsbury Group? What was the quality of their classroom education? How did they educate themselves? What was their level of cultural literacy: how much did they know about politics, science, history, philosophy, poetry, and sexuality? Who were the proletarian intellectuals, and why did they pursue the life of the mind? These intriguing questions, which until recently historians considered unanswerable, are addressed in this book. Using innovative research techniques and a vast range of unexpected sources, The Intellectual Life of the British Working Classes tracks the rise and decline of the British autodidact from the pre-industrial era to the twentieth century. It offers a new method for cultural historians--an "audience history" that recovers the responses of readers, students, theatergoers, filmgoers, and radio listeners. Jonathan Rose provides an intellectual history of people who were not expected to think for themselves, told from their perspective. He draws on workers’ memoirs, oral history, social surveys, opinion polls, school records, library registers, and newspapers. Through its novel and challenging approach to literary history, the book gains access to politics, ideology, popular culture, and social relationships across two centuries of British working-class experience.

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.
