Excerpt from Ibsen in England Since Ibsen has in uenced modern English drama as has no other single playwright, and since Ibsen aroused the most interesting controversy in the history of the modern English theatre, it is essential that the student of con temporary English drama should thoroughly understand the part that Ibsen played in the literary and theatrical England of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This thesis is the result of an attempt to gather together in a single volume the material necessary to an apprecia tion of Ibsen's place in the history of English drama. For much of the material on Gosse's introduction of Ibsen to England, I am indebted to F. C. Hansen's bac calaureate thesis on Ibsen in England, University of Wisconsin. In Dr. Lee M. Hollander's bibliography in Speeches and New Letters of Ibsen, there may be found a list of many of the translations, performances, and commentaries on Ibsen in England and America. As far as I have been able to ascertain, these have been the only detailed works on the subject of Ibsen in Eng land, and both Mr. Hansen and Dr. Hollander have limited themselves to only a portion of the field.
