Four of Ibsen's greatest and most popular plays come alive in these theatrically-inspired and production tested translations. Davis and Johnston bring to Ibsen a fresh combination of scholarly insight and a sense of what communicates into theater. Too often Ibsen in English ends up sounding like a quaint Victioran parlor dramatist. These texts capture some things that are often missed-the wit and humor, the purposeful use of certain repeated images, and the sense of daring that helped make Ibsen a revolutionary figure not just for the 19th Century, but for all time to come.
