Peer Gynt: A Dramatic Poem (Oxford World's Classics) - Softcover
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.

Review:
"Christopher Fry, a poet of genius, has added, in his translation of Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt, a new work of genius to English Literature. Peer Gynt never 'read right' in English before. Now it does."
--Dr R.C. Poole, Dept. of English, University of Nottingham
"an ultimately bleak but nonetheless entertaining classic"

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback.
