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.'"
