Each volume presents the contemporary responses to a particular writer, enabling the student to follow the formation of critical attitudes to the writer’s work and its place within a literary tradition.  \nThe carefully selected sources range from landmark essays in the history of criticism to fragments of contemporary opinion and little published documentary material, such as letters and diaries.  \nSignificant pieces of criticism from later periods are also included in order to demonstrate fluctuations in reputation following the writer’s death.  \nHENRIK IBSEN  \nTHE CRITICAL HERITAGE  \nEdited by  \nMICHAEL EGAN  \nLondon and New York  \nFirst published in 1972  \nThis edition published in the Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2003.  \nCompilation, introduction, notes and index © 1972 Michael Egan  \nAll rights reserved.

On one side we learn a great deal about the state of criticism at large and in particular about the development of critical attitudes towards a single writer; at the same time, through private comments in letters, journals or marginalia, we gain an insight upon the tastes and literary thought of individual readers of the period. Evidence of this kind helps us to understand the writer’s historical situation, the nature of his immediate reading-public, and his response to these pressures.  \nThe separate volumes in the Critical Heritage Series present a record of this early criticism. Clearly, for many of the highly productive and lengthily reviewed nineteenth- and twentieth-century writers, there exists an enormous body of material; and in these cases the volume editors have made a selection of the most important views, significant for their intrinsic critical worth or for their representative quality—perhaps even registering incomprehension!  \nFor earlier writers, notably pre-eighteenth century, the materials are much scarcer and the historical period has been extended, sometimes far beyond the writer’s lifetime, in order to show the inception and growth of critical views which were initially slow to appear.  \nIn each volume the documents are headed by an Introduction, discussing the material assembled and relating the early stages of the author’s reception to what we have come to identify as the critical tradition. The volumes will make available much material which would otherwise be difficult of access and it is hoped that the modern reader will be thereby helped towards an informed understanding of the ways in which literature has been read and judged.  \nB.C.S.  \nContents  \nPREFACE page xvii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS xviii  \nINTRODUCTION 1  \nNOTE ON THE TEXT 40  \n1 EDMUND GOSSE on Ibsen’s poetry, Spectator 1872 41  \n2 EDMUND GOSSE on Peer Gynt, Spectator 1872 45  \n3 EDMUND GOSSE on Ibsen’s elaborate irony, Fortnightly Review 1873 50  \n4 CATHERINE RAY on the conflict in Ibsen’s work 1876 51  \n5 Unsigned notice of Quicksands (The Pillars of Society), Theatre 1881 55  \n6 RASMUS B.ANDERSON on Ibsen’s genius, American 1882 57  \n7 CLEMENS PETERSEN on Ibsen and Björnson, Scandinavia 1882 58  \n8 HENRIETTA FRANCES LORD on A Doll’s House 1882 59  \n9 WILLIAM ARCHER on Mrs Lord’s imperfections and An Enemy","cbCair5H8q3SBdQy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCair5H8q3SBdQy","pdf",2486658,524,"English","# Preface\n# Introduction\n# Note on the Text\n# Critical Responses\n## Edmund Gosse on Ibsen’s Poetry\n## Edmund Gosse on Peer Gynt\n## Edmund Gosse on Ibsen’s Elaborate Irony\n## Catherine Ray on Conflict in Ibsen’s Work\n## Quicksands (The Pillars of Society) - Unsigned Notice\n## Rasmus B.
