Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ... A Chronological Bibliography Of Ibsen And The Interest Manifested In Him In The English-speaking Countries, As Shown By TRANSLATIONS, Performances, And CommenTaries. With An Alphabetical Index Prefatory Note In this outline an effort is made to record as fully as possible all the English and American translations and performances of Ibsen's dramas and the commentaries on his life and works. As the material would otherwise be too overwhelming, shorter magazine articles on Ibsen are not considered, and for a similar reason none of the lectures on his works are included. Attention is called to the alphabetical index at the end, in which may be found any desired item. A. K. CHRONOLOGICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY IT is a curious fact that not until twenty-two years after the publication of Ibsen's first drama (" Catilina," 1850), and several years after the publication of some of his greatest and most important works ("Brand," 1866, "Peer Gynt," 1867), did there appear in the English language a sketch of the poet and his writings. To the eminent English literary critic, Edmund Gosse, belongs the honor of having first introduced Ibsen to the English-speaking public. In the number of the Spectator for March 16th, 1872, * there is a review of the small volume of his poems which was published in Copenhagen in 1871; it is not signed, but is written by Mr. Gosse. This review fills the space of about one and one half columns of the magazine; it gives a short outline of Norwegian literature previous to Ibsen, mentioning the names of Wergeland, Welhaven, and A.

Outstanding selection of great letters from ancient times to the 21st century, touching on power, love, art, sex, faith, and war. Written in History: Letters that Changed the World celebrates the great letters of world history, and cultural and personal life. Bestselling, prizewinning historian Simon Sebag Montefiore selects letters that have changed the course of global events or touched a timeless emotion—whether passion, rage, humor—from ancient times to the twenty-first century. Some are noble and inspiring, some despicable and unsettling, some are exquisite works of literature, others brutal, coarse, and frankly outrageous, many are erotic, others heartbreaking. It is a surprising and eclectic selection, from the four corners of the world, filled with extraordinary women and men, from ancient times to now. Truly a choice of letters for our own times encompassing love letters to calls for liberation to declarations of war to reflections on life and death. The writers vary from Elizabeth I and Catherine the Great to Mandela, Stalin and Picasso, Fanny Burney and Emily Pankhurst to Ada Lovelace and Rosa Parks, Oscar Wilde, Chekhov and Pushkin to Balzac, Mozart and Michelangelo, Hitler, Rameses the Great and Alexander Hamilton to Augustus and Churchill, Lincoln, Donald Trump and Suleiman the Magnificent. In a book that is a perfect gift, here is a window on astonishing characters, seminal events, and unforgettable words. In the colorful, accessible style of a master storyteller, Montefiore shows why these letters are essential reading and how they can unveil and enlighten the past—and enrich the way we live now.
