The Cambridge Companion to Ibsen (Cambridge Companions to Literature)

the long version

In the history of modern theater Ibsen is on of the dominating figures. His conquest of the theater over the past hundred years - first in Scandinavia, and then very quickly in Europe, North America and the wider world - makes him one of the most frequestly performed playwrights in the world today. The sixteen chapters of the Companion, contributed by a distingished international team, explore Ibsen's life and work, providing an invaluable reference work for students of drama and of literature.
