A new Penguin edition of Ibsen's two great verse plays, in
masterful versions by one of our greatest living poets, Geoffrey
Hill. These two powerful and contrasting verse dramas by Ibsen made
his reputation as a playwright. The fantastical adventures of the
irrepressible Peer Gynt - poet, idler, procrastinator, seducer -
draw on Norwegian folklore to conjure up mountains, kidnappings,
shipwrecks and trolls in an exuberant examination of truth and the
self; while Brand, an unsparing vision of an idealistic priest who
lives by his steely faith, explores free will and sacrifice. This
volume brings together the poet Geoffrey Hill's acclaimed stage
version of Brand with a new poetic rendering of Peer Gynt,
published for the first time. This Penguin edition includes an
interview with Geoffrey Hill about recreating Ibsen in English, an
introduction by Janet Garton and editorial materials by Tore Rem.
