Book Review: Henrik Ibsens skrifter

Henrik Ibsens skrifter. Ed. Vidgis Ystad et. al.
Oslo: Aschehoug, 2006--. 31 volumes. 891 kr. per volume.
(En electronic version also exists.)

This new edition of the collected works of Ibsen is intended to replace the old Centennial Edition (Hundreårsutgaven, 1928-1957), which is much in need of updating. New letters have surfaced; Ibsen’s nineteenth-century Dano-Norwegian often requires some elucidation; and the editorial commentary in any collected works should reflect the best of recent scholarship. Of the planned thirty-one volumes of the complete Skrifter, twenty-four are now available.
