Time's Disinherited Children: Childhood, Regression & Sacrifice in the Plays of Henrik Ibsen (Series a (Norvik Press))

A thought-provoking study. The author deals here not only with the actual children who appear in Ibsen's plays but more so with those many adults who, in the author's words, are `sealed by environment, heredity, chance or self-will into childish roles which they are incapable of outgrowing.'.... A fresh and thought-provoking reassessment of Ibsen's achievement as poet and dramatist.-Scandinavian-American Bulletin
