Abstract
Henrik Ibsen, who, along with Bjornson, was the first to give Norway a theatre of her own, has for years been the target of students, critics, play-goers. In the year 1928, the centennial of his birth, a great number of magazine articles were published; many of them told of his literary death, death without hope of resurrection. However, the number of articles written shows that he is alive in spite of attempts by some critics to kill him. One thing, if none other, will keep him alive in the dramatic literature of the world if not in the hall of fame; and that thing is the fact that when he wrote "A Doll's House," if not before, he set an example for the drama to which contemporary dramatists are still adhering. As to his popularity, revivals of his plays are well attended and "Hedda Gabler" will probably always prove a play of note. [Taken form introduction]
