The Platonic Intertext in Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler and Little Eyolf Ibsen Studies (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2021-07-03 Ana Tomljenović
If we place Hedda Gabler within a broad intertextual scope of Plato’s Symposium, as proposed by Kristin Boyce (2018) in her analysis, then Ibsen’s play Little Eyolf could be examined as a subsequent transcript of this famous philosophical dialogue on love. Little Eyolf might be viewed as an appendix or a sequel to Hedda Gabler, a piece stemming from the remains of its motif—as though it rose from the

It is also the first analysis within Romanian Ibsen scholarship and theatre history to combine digital humanities tools with a traditional theatre historiographical approach.

The empty nurseries that Gunn has found to occupy a conspicuous place in Hedda Gabler (1890), The Master Builder (1892), and Little Eyolf (1894) are not filled with the parents’ children but with what she calls “improper occupants,” i.e.,

This article addresses the contribution of the foreign language theatre companies’ performances to Ibsen’s emergence in Romania until the middle of the twentieth century.

What is a full life? Reflections on Ibsen and Literary Biography, and on Sverre Mørkhagen’s Ibsen: … “Den Mærkelige Mand” Ibsen Studies (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2020-07-02 Helge Rønning
The main question concerning literary biography is, surely, Why do we need it at all? When an author has devoted his life to expressing himself, and, if a poet or a writer of fiction, has used the sensations and critical events of his life as his basic material, what of significance can a biographer add to the record? Most writers lead quiet lives or, even if they don’t, are of interest to us because

Svein Henrik Nyhus’ dissertation examines Ibsen’s assimilation in the American theatre from 1879 to 1914. With a methodology that is both quantitative, historically interpretive and theoretically informed by sociology of literature, it seeks to account for the conjunctures and general characteristics of this process. Inspired by Franco Moretti’s “distant reading,” the event-based, relational performance

Stories of “Infidelity”: Nazi Ibsen Adaptations and the Norwegian Press Ibsen Studies (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2020-07-02 Thor Holt
Considering the shocking themes, feminism, and critique of idealism in Henrik Ibsen’s plays, the fact that only adaptations of Ludwig Ganghofer’s homeland novels premiered more often in the Nazi era presents puzzling paradoxes to film historians and readers of Ibsen alike (Drewniak 1987, 562; Holt 2020, 303). How did it come to be that this revealer of social ills and lies was used by a film industry

Economic Extensions in Space and Time: Mediating Value in Pillars of the Community and A Doll’s House Ibsen Studies (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2020-07-02 Lars August Fodstad
When Henrik Ibsen initiated his series of contemporary prose plays, he did so with a stage design where people are ‘doing their shopping at a little shop on the corner’ in the street behind Karsten Bernick’s stately house and garden, while the plot in Pillars of the Community revolves around the consul’s engagement in more complex and speculative business ventures (Ibsen 2016, 3). Next, Ibsen establishes

Ibsen’s introduction and subsequent recognition as a dramatist of significant merit in America was a prolonged affair. Seen from the perspective of the stage, his breakthrough first came between 1903 and 1904, more than two decades after the first production of Pillars of Society at the Stadttheater, performed in German in Milwaukee, 1879. Compared to the central countries in Ibsen’s European reception

Moreover, the symbolism of the wild duck is clearly influenced by Darwin, either by Darwin’s reports in Variations of Animals and Plants under Domestication (1868) about how wild ducks degenerate in captivity (Bull 1932, 23–24; Downs 1950, 148–149; Zwart 2000, 94–95), or, more probably, by the chapter on domestication and variation in On the Origin of the Species (1859), which was translated into Danish

Diderot, Ibsen, and the Drame Lyrique in Scandinavia Ibsen Studies (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2020-01-02 Martin Wåhlberg
Diderot devised what he himself perceived as a completely new kind of contemporary theater. This part of his output has been somewhat overshadowed by his more general contributions to the French Enlightenment. A huge interest in his Encyclop edie and in his highly experimental narrative prose developed in the 1950s and 1960s, alongside the rise of le nouveau roman (Fellows 1970, 96). Meanwhile, to

The Lark’s Lonely Twittering: An Analysis of the Monologues in A Doll’s House Ibsen Studies (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2019-07-03 Ragnar Arntzen, Gunhild Braenne Bjørnstad
Ibsen’s use and rejection of the monologue in his modern, realistic dramas is an old and bewildering narrative. Maybe Ibsen himself is partly responsible for this bewildering. Already in 1869, he wrote to Georg Brandes that he had finished a play (De unges forbund/League of Youth) in which he had worked hard with the form, and proudly proclaimed that he had “gjort det Kunststykke at hjaelpe mig uden

The Form of Finitude: AASE’s Death in Peer Gynt Ibsen Studies (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2019-01-02 Leonardo Lisi
Given how thoroughly Ibsen is identified with his prose dramas it is perhaps unsurprising that relatively little attention has been paid to his verse. When it is discussed at all, it tends to be in terms of the light it sheds on his later production or, at best, in the context of the closet dramas Brand and Peer Gynt. In studies of these latter works, however, purely poetic considerations are mostly

The sepia photograph on the cover of the American edition of Will Eno’s Gnit (2013) shows a cowboy walking away from the viewer, a suitcase in one hand and a long, coiled length of rope in the other.

The image conjures up mythic and forlorn thoughts of the frontier, the freedom and loss of the unattached

Peer Gynt and Freud’s the Uncanny Ibsen Studies (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2018-07-03 Marit Aalen, Anders Zachrisson
In this article, we will analyze some central scenes in Henrik Ibsen’s Peer Gynt (Ibsen [1867a] 2007) in light of Sigmund Freud’s ideas about Das Unheimliche, usually translated as the uncanny (Freud 1919). Peer Gynt is a work where the story twists and turns as it proceeds, mirroring the protagonist’s volatile mind. We will demonstrate an affinity between Freud’s conception of the uncanny and the

A SECOND POLISH NORA: GABRIELA ZAPOLSKA IN SEARCH OF HER OWN IBSEN Ibsen Studies (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2018-01-02 Ewa Partyga
In Poland, as elsewhere, several women made significant contributions to the popularization of Henrik Ibsen’s work. Among the female translators, actors, authors and social activists interested in his work, Gabriela Zapolska (1857–1921) takes pride of place. Described as a “rebellious talent”, this writer, essayist and actress was one of the liveliest and most independent minds of her time (see: Borkowska
