This translation is based upon the Norwegian text in the Centenary
Edition of Ibsen's collected works. It provides a close account of
the quality of Ibsen's play by reproducing as nearly as possible
not only the meaning in the literal sense but the verse forms that
constitute so much of the substance and dramatic structure of the
original. It makes an important contribution to those studying Peer
Gynt in English, as until now little of the dramatic quality of the
play has found its way into English translations.

Written in the aftermath of hostile criticism of Ghosts, Ibsen's
three plays all deal with the moral courage needed to tell the
truth. They are peopled not by symbolic figures and abstract
concepts, but by complex individuals pitted against, or part of, a
society that Ibsen felt was morally abhorrent and
claustrophobically provincial. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years

In the history of modern theater Ibsen is one of the dominating figures. The sixteen chapters of this Companion explore his life and work. The plays are grouped and discussed chronologically; among the thematic topics are discussions of Ibsen's comedy, realism, lyric poetry and feminism. Substantial chapters account for Ibsen's influence on the international stage, including an interview with ex-RSC director John Barton and an essay by Arthur Miller exploring Ibsen's challenge to contemporary theater and film. Essential reference materials include a full chronology, list of works, and essays on twentieth-century criticism and further reading.
