The translation of Peer Gynt appears for the first time in this Norton Critical Edition.?Backgrounds? gives students an understanding of Ibsen?s creative process with selections from his correspondence and other writings. Twenty-seven documents have been collected and arranged by play, with a section of autobiographical writings at the end.
