Little Eyolf (The Plays of Ibsen) - Hardcover

"Little Eyolf" is little known to the general public, although it has been a favourite with the discerning ever since Henry James read the first two acts and wrote: "It is indeed immense - indeed and indeed...It's a masterpiece and a marvel; and it MUST leap upon the stage." The present edition, translated from the Norwegian by Michael Meyer, includes a short introduction describing the circumstances in which Ibsen wrote the play and a bit about its theatrical history. It will undoubtedly establish itself as the best translation for the stage, and a "Note on the Translation" follows the play.
