Peer Gynt and Brand (Penguin Classics)

Masterful versions of Ibsenâ€™s two great verse plays by one of our greatest living poets, Geoffrey Hill
Â
These two masterly and contrasting verse dramas by Ibsen made his reputation as a playwright. The fantastical adventures of the irrepressible Peer Gyntâ€”poet, idler, procrastinator, seducerâ€”draw on Norwegian folklore to conjure up mountains, kidnappings, shipwrecks, and trolls in an exuberant celebration of life; while Brand, an unsparing vision of an idealistic priest who lives by his steely faith, explores free will, sacrifice, and the self. This volume brings together the poet Geoffrey Hillâ€™s acclaimed stage version of Brand with a new poetic rendering of Peer Gynt, published for the first time.
