These short plays by the great Danish-Norwegian playwright Ludvig
Holberg reveal, in brilliant and sparking miniature, his genius for
comedy. The plays are here translated into English for the first
time, with an introduction by Svend Kragh-Jacobsen, well-known
Danish theater critic. In these social comedies Holberg pricks the
vanity of snobbery and the worship of riches, deals with the world
of the philosophers, and has fun with the theme of common sense. A
talkative barber, a scientific charlatan, and an ignorant farmer
boy come in for sharp characterization. Originally published in
1950. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
