This book is a comprehensive study of Peer Gynt, a drama that forms the foundation of not only the entire Ibsen canon, but also of modern drama as a whole. It provides scene-by-scene commentary on the drama, showing how the literature and ideas of the drama resemble, and sometimes duplicate, the literature and philosophy of Soren Kierkegaard.
