Excerpt from Henrik Ibsen, 1828-1888: A Critical Biography The interest now taken, among English-speaking people, in the writings of Henrik Ibsen, seems to make it desirable that some extended account of his life and work should be placed within the reach of the public. I had for some time been contemplating the preparation of a critical essay upon the subject, when this work by Henrik Jaeger came into my hands, and I concluded to translate it instead of writing the original study of which I had at first thought. While Herr Jaeger's book, being addressed primarily to the Scandinavian public, - already familiar with Ibsen's writings, - is, in some respects, not exactly what would have been written with a strictly English-speaking audience in view, it seems, on the whole, to cover the ground fairly well and to be, for the most part, just and intelligible.
