Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ludvig Holberg (1684–1754) was the foremost representative of the Danish-Norwegian Enlightenment and also a European figure of note. He published significant works in natural law and history, but also a very important body of moral essays and epistles. He authored several engaging autobiographies and European travelogues, a major utopian novel that was an immediate European succes, interesting satires that advocated women’s education and career, and a large number of comedies. These comedies secured Holberg’s status as the most significant playwright in Scandinavia before Ibsen and Strindberg. Through his extensive oeuvre, but especially through his plays, Holberg had a decisive influence on the formation of modern Danish as a literary language, something that was a self-conscious effort on the part of a man who saw himself as an educator of the public. Despite his contemporary impact at home and abroad and his ongoing popularity in Scandinavia, he remains little known in the wider world of enlightenment studies. It is the aim of this volume to revive Holberg as a major figure from a minor corner of the Enlightenment world by presenting the full variety of his work and giving it a European context.

Download or read book Ludvig Holberg s Comedies written by Gerald S. Argetsinger and published by Carbondale : Southern Illinois University Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often designated “The Molière of the North” and “The Father of Scandinavian Theatre,” Ludvig Holberg through the con­tinued popularity of his comedies has domi­nated the Danish National Theatre for more than two hundred years. Of Norwegian birth, Holberg is claimed by Norway as their own great comic genius. Both the Danish and the Norwegian National Theatres are fronted by statues of Holberg overlooking their entrances. This book presents the first introduction to and analysis of Holberg’s thirty-three comedies in English and is the first book in any language to explain why they continue to be the most popular comedies in Scan­dinavia. After introducing Holberg and dis­cussing how and why he could write such lively works, Argetsinger divides the plays into six general types: comedies of character, comedies of intrigue, comedies of special public occasions, topical comedies, philo­sophical comedies, and satires of dramatic forms, and provides a fully developed exam­ple of each type. He then examines those de­tails that make the scripts comic and stageworthy. The essential elements of Holberg’s com­edy are those of all successful comedy writ­ers: comic situations, business, character, and dialogue.
