About The Author
Henrik Ibsen
Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) is often called ‘the Father of Modern Drama’. Born in Norway, he left his homeland in 1864 for a 21-year long voluntary exile in Italy and Germany. After successes with the verse dramas Brand and Peer Gynt, he turned to prose, writing his great 12-play cycle of society dramas between 1877 and 1899. This included A Doll’s House, Ghosts, Hedda Gabler, The Master Builder, and, finally, When We Dead Awaken.
Deborah Dawkin is a researcher at University College London and the British Library. She has been a literary translator from Norwegian for the last ten years.
Erik Skuggevik is a lecturer in Translation Studies at the University of Surrey and the University of Westminister.
