Description
Peer Gynt is Ibsen's final work to use poetry as a medium of dramatic expression. Brilliantly suited to his imaginative exploration of Scandinavian oral folk traditions, the Moroccan coast, the Sahara Desert, and the absurdist images of a Cairo madhouse.
This translation is taken from the acclaimed Oxford Ibsen series, which has made available a wide range of literature from around the globe for over 100 years. With its commitment to scholarship, this volume provides an accurate text, expert introductions, helpful notes, and up-to-date bibliographies for further study.
John McFarlane's translation is by an Emeritus Professor of European Literature at the University of East Anglia, and General Editor of the Oxford Ibsen series. A valuable addition to any collection, this edition offers a wealth of information and insight into one of Norway's most celebrated playwrights.
