These two powerful and contrasting verse dramas by Ibsen made his reputation as a playwright. The fantastical adventures of the irrepressible Peer Gynt - poet idler procrastinator seducer - draw on Norwegian folklore to conjure up mountains kidnappings shipwrecks and trolls in an exuberant examination of truth and the self; while Brand an unsparing vision of an idealistic priest who lives by his steely faith explores free will and sacrifice. This volume brings together the poet Geoffrey Hill's acclaimed stage version of Brand with a new poetic rendering of Peer Gynt published for the first time.
