PEER GYNT: A Dramatic Poem.

By HENRIK IBSEN.

TRANSLATED BY WILLIAM AND CHARLES ARCHER.

_This Translation, though unrhymed, preserves throughout the various
rhythms of the original._

"In _Brand_ the hero is an embodied protest against the
poverty of spirit and half-heartedness that Ibsen rebelled
against in his countrymen. In _Peer Gynt_ the hero is himself
the embodiment of that spirit. In _Brand_ the fundamental
antithesis, upon which, as its central theme, the drama is
constructed, is the contrast between the spirit of compromise
on the one hand, and the motto 'everything or nothing' on the
other. And _Peer Gynt_ is the very incarnation of a
compromising dread of decisive committal to any one course. In
_Brand_ the problem of self-realisation and the relation of
the individual to his surroundings is obscurely struggling for
recognition, and in _Peer Gynt_ it becomes the formal theme
upon which all the fantastic variations of the drama are built
up. In both plays alike the problems of heredity and the
influence of early surroundings are more than touched upon;
and both alike culminate in the doctrine that the only
redeeming power on earth or in heaven is the power of
love."--Mr. P. H. WICKSTEED.
