Excerpt from Ibsen and His Creation: A Psycho-Critical Study This book is an attempt to deal, above all, with Ibsen as representative of modern consciousness. In this respect it may be considered a comple ment to the merely aesthetic or merely social criticisms of Ibsen and his works. Although the present study forms an independent whole, it is nevertheless inwardly connected with my psycho - critical study of Dostoevsky (dostoevsky and his Creation, Collins) and also with two other studies which are to follow. The quotations from plays have been taken mainly from the excellent English edition of Ibsen's works arranged by William Archer (heinemann). For extracts from letters I am indebted to Hodder 8t Stoughton's Ibsen's Correspondence, and for those from speeches to Speeches and Letters of Ibsen (frank Palmer).
