Excerpt from Love's ComedyLove's Comedy is without doubt the finest of the few plays of Ibsen which still remain inaccessible to the English reader. It belongs, like Brand and Peer Gynt, to the early noontide of his genius, and exhibits in a cruder form, that union of philosophic re¿ection with the happy valiancy and abounding resource of youth, which is the special grace of the early thirties. To the reader of the Social Dramas, and especially to the reader who has enjoyed their subject-matter but resented their studied banality of form, Love's Comedy should be highly congenial, for it handles a kindred theme with radiant vivacity and verve, and presents, through a medium charged with eloquence and imagery, a picture not less dramatic and alive, of the same society. Ibsen had here, in fact, struck for the first time the rich vein which the last thirty years of his life have been devoted to working out, and he hewed it with ringing strokes in the first ardour of discovery. Love's Comedy marks the true inception of the Social Dramas it may even be held to contain them in the germ.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
