More specifically this collection challenges the practice of isolating the dramatist from his socio-historical contexts and treating his final twelve plays in particular as a self-contained aesthetic whole. On the premise that Ibsen, “could not escape his own context, and that literary autonomy is itself contingent on extra-literary preconditions, like the ability to live from one’s authorship, being protected by copyright, or being received with a certain reverence in appropriating cultures” (xvi), the essays embed the playwright into five general categories: “Life and Career,” “Culture and Society,” “Scandinavian Reception,” “Internationalization,” and “Afterlives.” This holistic contextualization of Ibsen from the time of his writing until today broadens the interpretative possibilities for his works and underscores the importance of the larger socio-cultural European and global contexts for the dramatist. The first three essays that make up Part I, “Life and Career,” are all written by Narve Fulsås and trace the cultural and sociopolitical Scandinavian contexts of Ibsen's early life and writing. Of particular focus are Ibsen’s practical theatrical experiences in Bergen and Kristiania, and importantly his relationship to Gyldendal publishing house and its head, Frederik V. Hegel. Fulsås suggests Ibsen’s association with Gyldendal resulted in a shift of focus from performance to book culture and ensured an","PeriodicalId":41285,"journal":{"name":"Ibsen Studies","volume":"22 1","pages":"99 - 104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44218079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the present volume she delivers a more comprehensive and more deeply analyzed study on the subject that focuses on Ibsen’s discussion of the philosophy of history. In the seven chapters of the study, she discusses Ibsen’s relation to the aesthetic writings of Lessing and Herder, she debates his ambivalent reactions towards Hegel’s aesthetics and philosophy of history, and finally she goes into the complex relation between the attempts by Ibsen and Nietzsche to revitalize modern forms of tragedy. One of the virtues of the study is that Gjesdal not only pays attention to this German context, but also to Scandinavian philosophers who transmitted and modified German philosophy (besides Kierkegaard and Brandes she repeatedly refers to Johan Ludvig Heiberg’s philosophical writings). One could, of course, say that all of these complex intertextual relations have already been treated in older studies by Harald Beyer, Ole Koppang, Asbjørn Aarseth, Thomas F. Van Laan, Brian Johnston, and Matthias Straßner (to name just a few important representatives). But Gjesdal is certainly right when she states that the focus of these studies has been “lighter on philosophical content and detail” (p. 8) and heavier on dramaturgical observations. This should not insinuate that she is blind for the literary dimensions of Ibsen’s works. On the contrary, all of the presented readings are characterized by an attempt to take drama and the dramatical forms of representation seriously.

Polemiche e dibattiti tra Otto e Novecento (Trieste and the Ibsen case. Controversies and Debates at the Turn of the Twentieth Century) is a recent work by Paolo Quazzolo, Associate Professor of Drama Studies at the University of Trieste and author of many publications on theatre, both from a historical and critical point of view, as well as monographs on specific playwrights. This is his first book on Ibsen. In this work on Ibsen in Trieste the historical and critical approaches previously employed by Quazzolo seem to merge, enhancing each other to create new perspectives. Here the author reconstructs the first reception of Ibsen in Italy focussing on the encounter between the Norwegian playwright and the city of Trieste at the turn of the twentieth century, and recognises in this encounter some unique elements, charged with promises of mutual enrichment: on the one hand the reception of Ibsen in Trieste – once some initial scepticism was overcome – set the tone for the national reception of the playwright; on the other, the entrance of his dramas both on the stages and in cultural debates in Trieste during those years contributed to reconceptualizing the identity of a city which, in that moment, was defining its role and position in the cultural landscape of Italy. One of the most interesting aspects of this book is the narrowing of its focus to a very specific geographic area, which allows","PeriodicalId":41285,"journal":{"name":"Ibsen Studies","volume":"21 1","pages":"199 - 204"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47575695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The adaptation was part of an assignment to direct the play at the National School of Drama, New Delhi. However, this article is limited to reflections on and handling of approaches and challenges in the adaptation process. I intended to make a text that would communicate with present-day Indian readers and audiences. It required a deep-rooted process, far beyond merely a textual translation. The fundamental task was to negotiate the source text within the socio-political-cultural context of colonially mediated modernity, representing the juncture between tradition and modernity of contemporary India. This juncture is the meeting place between two different political visions for economic and social reform after partition in 1947: the Gandhian project of reviving the village economy, and the Nehruvian vision of prosperity through rapid industrialization as a part of a Western-inspired secular modernization project. This divide still characterizes the socio-political climate in India. Moreover, one could understand the present situation in India as part of a wider notion of colonialist interpellation, which is implanted within the postcolonial structure.

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 ashes in Hedda’s fireplace or sprang from the pieces of paper out of which Tesman and Thea hope to compile a new book in the final scene of the play. In Little Eyolf, the play Ibsen wrote four years after Hedda Gabler, he continues to evolve Plato’s metaphor of giving birth to a book like giving birth to a child. Little Eyolf is a play about a book that never managed to mature, about a child who never grew up, about people striving to grow fully as people. As in the play Hedda Gabler, in which missing books and unborn children forever remain shrouded by darkness—either hidden in their mother’s womb, trapped in the scholar’s head, or burnt in the black rectangle of a fireplace—in Little Eyolf the hypothesis remains unfinished and the child is lost. As noted by Ernst Robert Curtius in his study European Literature and the Latin Middle Ages, “the concept of the book as a child [... ] goes back to Plato’s doctrine of Eros” (Curtius 2013, 132). In Plato’s Symposium—in the part where Socrates decides to convey what Diotima taught him about the subject of love—love is defined as “giving birth in the beautiful, in respect of body and","PeriodicalId":41285,"journal":{"name":"Ibsen Studies","volume":"21 1","pages":"165 - 191"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44399952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet both authors, who are both emerging scholars based in Norway, break new ground in their choice of subject material. In “The Mystic and Modernity: Unfolding Past and Present in Emperor and Galilean,” Gerd Karin Omdal draws attention to the character Maximus, who is both mystic and philosopher and thus seemingly at odds with the exploration of modernity that the play is known for. Picking up from previous readings of the play that rule out the possibility of an unambiguously Christian and/ or idealist interpretation, Omdal focuses her attention on the role played by Maximus in conceptualizing the so-called “third empire” that would synthesize opposing pre-Christian and Biblical world views into something new. Whereas other scholars have placed primary emphasis on the philosophical tradition connected to Maximus, Omdal turns her attention instead to Maximus as mystic, contextualizing him within Neoplatonic and occult traditions. She argues that a synthesized understanding that encompasses both the philosophical and the mystical components of the character is necessary. In this, Omdal reflects a growing trend within the field of Scandinavian studies that seeks to examine the nineteenth-century fascination with the occult as an influential cultural phenomenon of the era, without in any way reproducing or espousing its pseudo-scientific beliefs. This is a welcome contribution because it opens up aspects of the text that have been ignored, perhaps because of a certain academic squeamishness or unwillingness to take such matters seriously as influential (if clearly misguided) cultural developments.","PeriodicalId":41285,"journal":{"name":"Ibsen Studies","volume":"21 1","pages":"4 - 37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15021866.2021.1932045","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48574147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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., with “inhabitants that are not the children of the family” (16), and she sets out to demonstrate what this recurrent pattern may mean. As a starting point, her observation seems both refreshingly concrete and full of promise. Still, one wonders, at the outset, whether the nursery theme will yield enough material to fill an entire book, not least because, as Gunn herself points out, these empty rooms do not get much attention in the texts: “In a certain sense, Ibsen’s nurseries are little more than traces” (12), they are offstage, and they are “more or less peripheral to the action” (11). However, she maintains that it is precisely these “trace-like qualities” that make the rooms significant; the empty spaces are spaces of possibility and hence of the future (12). A study of this motif may therefore be able to put us on the trail of Ibsen’s thinking about “reproduction in its broad sense” (3). In addition, Gunn maintains that her examination will put her in dialogue with “some major claims from queer and critical child studies” (2). Unfortunately, it is not entirely clear what these claims imply. From the very start, the reader encounters the difficulty of not knowing exactly for whom the study is written.

It is also the first analysis within Romanian Ibsen scholarship and theatre history to combine digital humanities tools with a traditional theatre historiographical approach. In this respect, the use of the IbsenStage database and of histoire crois ee provides the methodological and theoretical framework of this study. The Romanian quantitative and qualitative data have revealed a contradiction: Ibsen was not performed with great frequency, yet historical sources suggest that he had a significant impact on national acting and staging practices. The dissertation embarks on an exploration of this contradiction. First, it analyzes the aesthetic diversity of influences brought into Romania by French, Italian, German, Hungarian and Yiddish touring performances. Second, it pinpoints commercialism, protectionism and aesthetics as the strongest forces of constraint within the unstable administrative, financial and legislative structures of the early Romanian theatre. Then, it assesses how these forces worked for and against the production of Ibsen’s plays.
