Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Kaplan aims to dispel the cloud of apparent anachronism by showing that the critique of realist techniques in Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt can be understood in the context of his earlier involvement with publishing Norwegian folklore. Kaplan also explores the printed Norwegian folktale collection as the site of multiple modes of performance and negotiations with the authentic, takes up Henrik Ibsen's own collection and publication of folklore and his use of those same conventions to achieve the translation of the oral into written form, and treats the satire of those conventions as it surfaces in Ibsen's Peer Gynt.
