| 3. | Ibsen, Henrik Peer Gynt
London J. M. Dent & Sons Limited 1947 Reprint Edition Hard Cover Very Good Very Good 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall
EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY # 747 Translated by R. Farquharson Sharp. Introduction by R. Farquharson Sharp. "Ibsen's second great drama in verse was published in the year after Brand. 'Peer Gynt,' wrote its author five years later, 'is a very antithesis of Brand...It is reckless and formless, written with no thought of the consequences as I could only dare to write when far from my country.' Primarily a poetic fantasy woven out of Norwegian folklore, some of the scenes and characters are autobiographical in basis, and the philosophical and satirical qualities of the poem have always aroused discussion. This translation 'follows the metres of the original, in unrhymed verse, keeping as closely to the original 's literal meaning as is compatible with intelligibility in another tongue.'" A very good green cloth hardcover volume. Gilt titles , blindstamped. A very good green DJ. Some wear, chipping, small tears repaired. 3/2/4/N 1921, 12mo, xii, 242pp. Temple Press DJ Code (Uj712) .

| 5. | Ibsen, Henrik The Pretenders, Pillars of Society and Rosmersholm
London J. M. Dent & Sons Limited 1949 Reprint Edition Hard Cover Very Good Very Good 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall
EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY # 659 Translated by R. Farquharson Sharp. Introduction by R. Farquharson Sharp. "The Pretenders is a historical-character drama built around the struggle between Haakon and Skule for the crown; it was written before Ibsen left Norway. Pillars of Society was first produced in Copenhagen in 1877 and marked the turning point in Ibsen's work towards the drama of modern social problems. Of Rosmershold, the translator writes:"What is absorbing in the play is the development and conflict of character; the gradual lifting of veil after veil that has concealed Rebecca West's true nature and the extent of her machinations; the pitiless veracity of the self-analysis with which she and Rosmer torture themselves; the master-hand evident in the structure of the play.'"

Some wear, chipping, small tears repaired. 3/2/4/N 1913, 12mo, xii, 316pp. Temple Press DJ Code (Wj 331) . 8 page advertising catalogue listing 983 volumes bound in.
