Book Synopsis Henrik Ibsen and the Birth of Modernism by : Toril Moi
Download or read book Henrik Ibsen and the Birth of Modernism written by Toril Moi and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-02-14 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) is the founder of modern theater, and his plays are performed all over the world. Yet in spite of his unquestioned status as a classic of the stage, Ibsen is often dismissed as a fuddy-duddy old realist, whose plays are of interest only because they remain the gateway to modern theater. In Henrik Ibsen and the Birth of Modernism , Toril Moi makes a powerful case not just for Ibsen's modernity, but for his modernism. Situating Ibsen in his cultural context, she shows how unexpected his rise to world fame was, and the extent of his influence on writers such Shaw, Wilde, and Joyce who were seeking to escape the shackles of Victorianism. Henrik Ibsen and the Birth of Modernism also rewrites nineteenth-century literary history; positioning Ibsen between visual art and philosophy, the book offers a critique of traditional theories of the opposition between realism and modernism. Modernism, Moi argues, arose from the ruins of idealism, the dominant aesthetic paradigm of the nineteenth century. She also shows why Ibsen still matters to us today, by focusing on two major themes-his explorations of women, men, and marriage and his clear-eyed chronicling of the tension between skepticism and the everyday. This radical new account places Ibsen in his rightful place alongside Baudelaire, Flaubert, and Manet as a founder of European modernism.
Book Synopsis Ibsen and the Greeks by : Norman Rhodes
Download or read book Ibsen and the Greeks written by Norman Rhodes and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Was Ibsen influenced by Greek culture? Were allusions to the Greeks configured in the Norwegian playwright's works? According to author Norman Rhodes, whether consciously or unconsciously, many of Ibsen's plays are encoded with veiled references to ancient Greek culture. Rhodes also postulates that Ibsen's perception of the importance of the Greeks was most likely mediated to him through German Romanticism and Scandinavian culture." "According to Rhodes, numerous echoes of Greek literature resonate in such early Ibsen plays as Catiline, The Warrior's Barrow, Olaf Liljerkrans, and Love's Comedy. Ibsen's Brand and Peer Gynt are a dialectic pair which in key ways are suggestive of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, A Doll House has important parallels with Sophocles' Antigone, and An Enemy of the People correlates with both Plato's Apology and Sophocles' Oedipus Tyrannos. Moreover, a Euripidean sense of fatal irrationality seems inscribed in Ibsen's final plays: the protagonists John Rosmer, Hedda Gabler, Master Builder Solness, John Gabriel Borkman, and the sculptor Rubek all destroy themselves."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Henrik Ibsen written by Ivo de Figueiredo and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 721 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A magnificent new biography of Henrik Ibsen, among the greatest of modern playwrights Henrik Ibsen (1820–1908) is arguably the most important playwright of the nineteenth century. Globally he remains the most performed playwright after Shakespeare, and Hedda Gabler, A Doll’s House, Peer Gynt, and Ghosts are all masterpieces of psychological insight. This is the first full-scale biography to take a literary as well as historical approach to the works, life, and times of Ibsen. Ivo de Figueiredo shows how, as a man, Ibsen was drawn toward authoritarianism, was absolute in his judgments over others, and resisted the ideas of equality and human rights that formed the bases of the emerging democracies in Europe. And yet as an artist, he advanced debates about the modern individual’s freedom and responsibility—and cultivated his own image accordingly. Where other biographies try to show how the artist creates the art, this book reveals how, in Ibsen’s case, the art shaped the artist.
Book Synopsis Ibsen: A Portrait of the Artist by : Hans Heiberg
Download or read book Ibsen: A Portrait of the Artist written by Hans Heiberg and published by Plunkett Lake Press. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The least pretentious and in its impact the most popular of Henrik Ibsen biographies” according to the National Library of Norway. Hans Heiberg writes in the preface “I have always wanted to read a biography of Henrik Ibsen as a human being — a portrait of the man before he became a mask” and “Let it be said emphatically that this book is not intended for academics [...] It is meant for the enjoyment of people who are interested in Ibsen himself.” Measured in circulation, it seems that Heiberg achieved his goal: the book was published in three editions in Norwegian, and was translated into Swedish, Danish, English, Russian and French — into more languages than any other Ibsen biography. “Brief and thoroughly readable... this biography is frankly offered ‘for the enjoyment of people who are interested in Ibsen himself.’ Nonetheless, all the basic areas are covered.” — Rolf Fjelde, The New York Times “In spite of [the biography's] economy, all the essentials are there... Ibsen's quirks of temperament — the violent contrasts in his nature, the combination of troll and moralist, of ancient prophet and shrewd businessman — do not surprise Mr. Heiberg, perhaps because he is himself Norwegian.” — Eva Le Gallienne, Saturday Review “[Heiberg’s] portrait of Ibsen is crystal clear, the style simple, while every sentence is meaningful... Heiberg is... an outstanding storyteller, in the descriptions of Ibsen’s family and environment, his childhood and youth, in adversity, development and achievement.” — Farmand “Hans Heiberg’s portrait... has a fresh and personal angle... it is wisely crafted in the details, honest and straightforward... the individual Ibsen stands at its core — with his personal fallibilities and ridiculous characteristics, and precisely therefore also in all his greatness.” — Drammens Tidende and Buskerud’s Magazine “In Ibsen: A Portrait of the Artist, [Heiberg] has intended to draw a portrait of the man behind the artwork. What was he like? And how did he become the way he was?... One can call Ibsen: A Portrait of the Artist a novel, a relation of André Maurois’ well-known biographies of famous men and women, but... Heiberg never invents things which may or may not have happened. He sticks to what he knows or what he is fully justified in believing.” — Arbeiderbladet
Download or read book Ibsen's Women written by Joan Templeton and published by Plunkett Lake Press. This book was released on 2019-08-17 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive study of the women in Ibsen’s life and work, this landmark book provides a close reading of actual and fictional women as it re-examines the biographical and critical record. In clear, much praised writing, Templeton traces patterns of gender throughout Ibsen’s plays, from the portrayals of women in the little known early dramas to the famous protagonists of A Doll House, Ghosts, Hedda Gabler, and the women of the “last quartet.” Templeton offers a reappraisal of the debated question of Ibsen’s relation to feminism, arguing against a false and demeaning critical tradition, and provides important new information on the young women of Ibsen’s later years and their presence in his plays. The book has been praised as incisive, masterful, provocative, and — a rarity among scholarly books — accessible to the general reader. “Joan Templeton’s Ibsen’s Women is a book to contend with. Templeton is a major Ibsen scholar who has written a tonic evaluation of what a major dramatist actually wrought. A delight to read.” — Arnold Weinstein, Scandinavian Studies “Ibsen’s Women marks a paradigm shift in Ibsen scholarship, moving ‘the woman question’ from the marginal category of ‘an aspect of’ to the core of the dramatic oeuvre. This is dazzling close reading, sophisticated, rigorous, artful. Templeton’s command of her material is masterly.” — Mary Kay Norseng, Ibsen News and Comment “Why is A Doll House not dated? This is one of the questions Joan Templeton answers in this very important book. Her style is witty and graceful and blessedly free of jargon. Her text is aimed at a wide variety of readers.” — Barry Jacobs, The Boston Review of Books “A goldmine of information... The scope and wide-ranging coverage of this book make it indispensable for anybody wishing to teach or write about Ibsen.” — Toril Moi,Ibsen Studies “Rich and rewarding. The close textual analysis supports Templeton’s thesis that Ibsen’s plays and his women characters are quintessentially feminist. A strong argument for the connection between Ibsen’s women and Ibsen’s modernism. Recommended for all collections.” — Choice

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary museums today must respond to new challenges; the traditional image of the author’s home museum as a sacred place of literary pilgrimage centered around a national hero has been questioned, and literary museums have begun to develop new strategies centered not only on biography, but also literary texts, imagined spaces, different readers, historical contexts, architectural concepts, and artistic interventions. As this volume shows, the changing of spaces asks how literary museums create new ways of interlinking real and literary spaces, texts, objects, readers, and tourists.
