Items related to Peer Gynt : A Dramatic Poem (Oxford World's Classics)
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.

Henrik Johan Ibsen (1828-1906) was an influential Norwegian playwright who was largely responsible for the rise of the modern realistic drama.
