A major biography of Henrik Ibsen—one of the most important figures in modern drama—evoked through a biographical reading of his plays
 
“An exhaustive examination of Ibsen's life and work by a major scholar of Scandinavian literature, Ibsen's Kingdom is the fullest analysis of Ibsen as a ‘poet of paradoxes.’”—Joan Templeton, author of Ibsen's Women
 
“[An] exemplary biography of the so-called Norwegian sphinx.”—Choice
 
Nineteenth-century Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen achieved unparalleled success in his lifetime and remains one of the most important figures in modern drama. The culmination of a lifetime of scholarship, Evert Sprinchorn’s ambitious biography constructs Ibsen’s life through a biographical reading of his plays. It presents provocative and insightful analyses of Ibsen’s works, placing them and their author within the social, political, and intellectual foment of nineteenth-century Europe. Sprinchorn captures for readers what it is that made these plays genius, and how Ibsen’s works attained their influential place not only in the field of drama, but in a wide intellectual sphere across Europe and the world. This sweeping new look at Ibsen’s plays is informative and useful as well as absorbing and thought-provoking. It will captivate anyone interested in the history of drama and the foundations of modernism.

“[An] exemplary biography of the so-called Norwegian sphinx, whose artistry is still celebrated in playhouses and classrooms all over the world.”—Choice

“An exhaustive examination of Ibsen's life and work by a major scholar of Scandinavian literature, Ibsen's Kingdom is the fullest analysis of Ibsen as a ‘poet of paradoxes.’”—Joan Templeton, author of Ibsen's Women

3.0 out of 5 stars Probably Fine for an Academic
Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2022
Verified Purchase
I came to Ibsen late in life and I am amazed at how good a writer he is, however this biography is too detailed, too wordy for my taste. It is literate, well written, and, as far as I've gotten, I haven't noticed an agenda being shoved down my throat (kind of unusual these days). So, lot to like, too.
