"Written in the aftermath of hostile criticism of Ghosts, Ibsen's three plays all deal with the moral courage needed to tell the truth. They are peopled not by symbolic figures and abstract concepts, but by complex individuals pitted against, or part of, a society that Ibsen felt was morally abhorrent and claustrophobically provincial.

Pan(8th Edition) From Lieutenant Thomas Glahn's Papers by Knut Hamsun, JamesMcfarlane Paperback, 192 Pages, Published 1956 by Farrar, Straus And Giroux ISBN-13: 978-0-374-50016-0, ISBN: 0-374-50016-9
"The story takes place in what feels like a timeless, fairy-tale era of Europe, along the misty edges of Norwegian fjords, in ancient game-filled forests. As seems to be the case with the usual Hamsun hero, Lieutenant Thomas Glahn is a rather alienated guy, almost childlike in his innocence of the interpersonal politics between people in general, men and women in particular, and between him and Edvarda, the woman he falls in love with, m ..."

"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 ..."

"Ibsen wrote "Peer Gynt" while in Italy in 1867. He warned his publisher that it would be "a large-scale dramatic poem, the main character of which is to be one of those half-mythological fairy-tale figures in the public domain from the recent past". It was his last work to use poetry as a medium of dramatic expression, but it carries the marks of his later prose plays in the kind of spare, dramatically eloquent dialogue which has become ..."
