"_We seem at last to be shown men and women as they are; and
at first it is more than we can endure.... All Ibsen's
characters speak and act as if they were hypnotised, and under
their creators imperious demand to reveal 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 (London).

The sequence of the plays _in each volume_ is chronological; the
complete set of volumes comprising the dramas thus presents them in
chronological order.
"The art of prose translation does not perhaps enjoy a very high
literary status in England, but we have no hesitation in numbering the
present version of Ibsen, so far as it has gone (Vols. I. and II.),
among the very best achievements, in that kind, of our
generation."--_Academy_.
"We have seldom, if ever, met with a translation so absolutely
idiomatic."--_Glasgow Herald_.
