Excerpt from Ein Volksfeind: Schauspiel in Fünf Akten

AN Ibsen play in a German translation edited for school and college use is, I admit, an innovation, but one, I am confident, that will commend itself to many teachers of German. An Enemy of the People is a mod ern prose play of high artistic merit which no teacher need hesitate to put into the hands of any student. In point of interest, of genial humor, serious pur pose and high ideal of social service it can compare with the best. It is the sunniest and most sponta neons of Ibsen's works despite the belligerent mood of its creator. In the good-hearted, impulsive doctor, in his daughter and in his brave sailor friend we meet some of the most magnetic characters of Ib sen's whole gallery.

Altho Ibsen was a Norwegian by birth, he be came a naturalized citizen in the republic of German letters. More than twenty of his best years he spent in Germany and, in fact, not till he came to live in Germany did he cease to be a little-known 'schrift steller aus Norwegen.' It was contact with German life and culture that turned him into a Germanic citi zen of the world. Germany, moreover, was his first and his most thoro foreign conquest. Few, indeed.
