" We seem at last to be shown men- and women as they are ; and at first it 

 S is more than we can endure. . . . All Ibsen^s characters speak and act as if 



M they were hypnotised, and under their creator's imperious demand to reveal 



K themselves. There never was such a mirror held up to nature before : it is 



too terrible, . . . Yet we must return to Ibsen, with his remorseless surgery, 

 ^ his remorseless electric -light, until we, too, have grown strong and learned to 



^ face the naked — if necessary, the flayed and bleeding— reality.^'' — Speaker 



W (London).

'"' " The art of prose translation does not perhaps enjoy a very high literary 



C/3 status in England, but we have no hesitation in numbering the present 



hH version of Ibsen, so far as it has gone (Vols. I. and II.), among the very 



f-i best achievements, in that kind, of our generation." — Academy. 



f^ «« Wg have seldom, if ever, met with a translation so absolutely 



idiomatic." — Glasgow Herald.
