Early Plays Catiline; The Warrior's Barrow; Olaf Liljekrans (1921)

About this book

Early Plays: Catiline; The Warrior's Barrow; Olaf Liljekrans is a collection of three plays written by Henrik Ibsen in the early stages of his career. The first play, Catiline, is a tragedy about the Roman politician Lucius Sergius Catilina and his failed attempt to overthrow the government. The second play, The Warrior's Barrow, is a historical drama set in medieval Norway about a young warrior who must choose between love and duty. The final play, Olaf Liljekrans, is a romantic drama about a young man who falls in love with his stepmother's daughter and is forced to confront societal expectations and family obligations. These plays showcase Ibsen's early exploration of themes such as power, love, duty, and morality, and provide insight into the development of his later, more well-known works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
