Beschreibungen/Notizen
Rousseau's declaration to Voltaire in their famous quarrel about the Lisbon earthquake-that it was bad housing construction, not "nature," that was responsible for the damage-is, after all, problematic. [...]the author views Ibsen as an active participant "in the theodicy debate" and seems surprised that he does not seem to take sides; "strikingly," he writes, Brand does not offer "the radically negative answer to theodicy, in the Voltaireian sense." [...]as Smart points out, this view of realism is enormously reductive (and it's no surprise to learn that Kennedy Martin's own experimental Diary of a Young Man [BBC, 1964] was both a popular and critical failure). According to Dingstad, scholars have grossly misrepresented Ibsen's early reception; newly available digitized records of newspapers reveal productions that have been ignored, and many early productions were gross misrepresentations of Ibsen's texts and often received little attention. [...]they take pains to show that dance was not, in fact, a form of entertainment for the Norwegian "lower classes," but rather an integral part of Danish and Norwegian upper-class culture that Ibsen himself took seriously as a medium of theatre, offering instruction in dance to his actors at the Norwegian Theatre of Bergen and the Norwegian Theatre of Oslo.
