THE YOUNG HENRIK IBSEN

The young Henrik Ibsen was a National Romantic. His dramas from the middle of the 19th century constitute a history of how the Norwegian national character and the Norwegian mindset changed from the Viking Age and onwards. This book examines his dramatic production from Burial Mound in 1850, when he was 22 years old, to Brand and Peer Gynt in 1866 and 1867.
