Book Reviews of Peer Gynt : A Dramatic Poem
Book Review: Peer Gynt
Summary: 3 Stars
As strange as the music it inspired.
I love Ibsen's later style. He is one of the easiest of writers to read. I think Lady from the Sea is a better play and being a later work is written in the natural prose style that was perfected by Ibsen and changed play writing throughout the world. However, lovers of Ibsen should read the poetic form contained within Peer Gynt to gain a fuller impression of this wonderful author.
Summary of Peer Gynt : A Dramatic Poem
This high-spirited poetical fantasy, based on Norwegian folklore, is the story of an irresponsible, lovable hero. After its publication, Ibsen abandoned the verse form for more realistic prose plays.Ibsen, Henrik Books
