  • Ellen Rees Centre for Ibsen Studies, University of Oslo [email protected]
    Ellen Rees Centre for Ibsen Studies, University of Oslo [email protected] Homing in on Henrik Ibsen: Norway’s Three Ibsen Museums When considering Norway’s literary canon, Henrik Ibsen looms largest and he is the only Norwegian writer to have an undisputed place in the world literary canon as well. His plays are staged around the globe, often supported by Norwegian government financing as part of a program of soft diplomacy with the aim of exporting Norwegian social values to so-called developing nations. Ibsen is thus a crucially important cultural figure both nationally and internationally, and there has been a concerted effort in Norway to disseminate both the works and their author as cultural commodities. In this paper, I want to analyze what Norway’s three separate Ibsen museums communicate about Ibsen as a canonical literary figure. The Oslo apartment, the farmhouse outside of Skien, and the apothecary’s shop in Grimstad have at times competed and at times collaborated in their presentation of the author. Now officially linked under the rubric “Ibsenmuseene i Norge,” they occupy a pivotal position in the dissemination of literary culture in Norway, and the Nordic countries more broadly through collaboration with “author museums” in Sweden and Denmark. Each Ibsen museum is marketed explicitly as a “home,” and each engages in a discourse of authenticity regarding Ibsen as an historical figure. I will investigate what the notion of “home” signifies in these three quite different constructions of the author. The study of literary museums is for the most part marginalized in the field of Nordic literature, at the same time that the Nordic countries are leaders in the field of museology.

He is often referred to as "the father of realism" and is one of the founders of Modernism in theatre.[2] His major works include Brand, Peer Gynt, An Enemy of the People, Emperor and Galilean, A Doll's House, Hedda Gabler, Ghosts, The Wild Duck, Rosmersholm, and The Master Builder. He is the most frequently performed dramatist in the world after Shakespeare,[3][4] and A Doll's House became the world's most performed play by the early 20th century.[5] Several of his later dramas were considered scandalous to many of his era, when European theatre was expected to model strict morals of family life and propriety.

    Classic Poetry Series Henrik Johan Ibsen - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Henrik Johan Ibsen(20 March 1828 – 23 May 1906) Henrik Ibsen was a major 19th-century Norwegian playwright, theatre director, and poet. He is often referred to as "the father of prose drama" and is one of the founders of Modernism in the theatre. His major works include Brand, Peer Gynt, An Enemy of the People, Emperor and Galilean, A Doll's House, Hedda Gabler, Ghosts, The Wild Duck, Rosmersholm, and The Master Builder. Several of his plays were considered scandalous to many of his era, when European theater was required to model strict mores of family life and propriety. Ibsen's work examined the realities that lay behind many façades, revealing much that was disquieting to many contemporaries. It utilized a critical eye and free inquiry into the conditions of life and issues of morality. The poetic and cinematic play Peer Gynt, however, has strong surreal elements. Ibsen is often ranked as one of the truly great playwrights in the European tradition. Richard Hornby describes him as "a profound poetic dramatist—the best since Shakespeare". He influenced other playwrights and novelists such as George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, and Eugene O'Neill. Many critics consider him the greatest playwright since Shakespeare. Ibsen wrote his plays in Danish and they were published by the Danish publisher Gyldendal. Although most of his plays are set in Norway—often in places reminiscent of Skien, the port town where he grew up—Ibsen lived for 27 years in Italy and Germany, and rarely visited Norway during his most productive years.
