Book Description
Excerpt from Henrik Ibsen, 1828-1888: A Critical Biography The interest now taken, among English-speaking people, in the writings of Henrik Ibsen, seems to make it desirable that some extended account of his life and work should be placed within the reach of the public. I had for some time been contemplating the preparation of a critical essay upon the subject, when this work by Henrik Jaeger came into my hands, and I concluded to translate it instead of writing the original study of which I had at first thought. While Herr Jaeger's book, being addressed primarily to the Scandinavian public, - already familiar with Ibsen's writings, - is, in some respects, not exactly what would have been written with a strictly English-speaking audience in view, it seems, on the whole, to cover the ground fairly well and to be, for the most part, just and intelligible.

Henrik Ibsen
Author: Ivo de Figueiredo
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300245025
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 721
Book Description
A magnificent new biography of Henrik Ibsen, among the greatest of modern playwrights Henrik Ibsen (1820–1908) is arguably the most important playwright of the nineteenth century. Globally he remains the most performed playwright after Shakespeare, and Hedda Gabler, A Doll’s House, Peer Gynt, and Ghosts are all masterpieces of psychological insight. This is the first full-scale biography to take a literary as well as historical approach to the works, life, and times of Ibsen. Ivo de Figueiredo shows how, as a man, Ibsen was drawn toward authoritarianism, was absolute in his judgments over others, and resisted the ideas of equality and human rights that formed the bases of the emerging democracies in Europe. And yet as an artist, he advanced debates about the modern individual’s freedom and responsibility—and cultivated his own image accordingly. Where other biographies try to show how the artist creates the art, this book reveals how, in Ibsen’s case, the art shaped the artist.
