Summary
Peer Gynt: A Dramatic Poem of Imagination and Absurdity
Peer Gynt, Ibsen’s final poetic drama, showcases a brilliant use of language to navigate imaginative shifts. The narrative sweeps from Scandinavian oral traditions to the Moroccan coast, the Sahara Desert, and the surreal confines of a Cairo madhouse.
This edition features a translation from the acclaimed Oxford Ibsen series.
