Book Reviews of Ibsen: The Complete Major Prose Plays
Book Review: Deserves a place on every Playwright's shelf
Summary: 5 Stars
Every aspiring playwright knows that to truly be well-versed in the history and language of theater, one must know the work of Henrik Ibsen. To be honest, until I took an introductory playwriting course, I had never heard of the man or his contributions to modern theater. In a short time, all of that changed. Since then I have been enamored by Ibsen's plays and have searched for a well-organized compilation of his greatest works. In short, this is that book.
Though it doesn't contain any of his lyrical work, such as Peer Gynt, this compilation, containing his twelve major prose plays, is an excellent achievement. Ibsen was a master of drama and desired that his reader or audience-member experience these prose plays in the order they were written. In this way, the work would be understood within its chronology and tell a greater story about the evolution of a playwright's mind. Reading the plays like this has been absolutely wonderful, and I am so grateful that Fjelde has done the work to compile his great translations into a single book. For anyone who speaks English and feels themselves to be a connoisseur of the theater, this book truly deserves its place on the shelf next to the complete works of Shakespeare, Chekhov, and Shaw.
