Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Joan Templeton's research and the beautiful artifact which contains it—the hard-bound, richly illustrated book—constitute a highly engaging, thought-provoking and emotionally moving read. Her study makes a significant contribution to the fields of Munch studies and Ibsen studies and can be used productively in the teaching of both subjects."
-- Gergana May * Scandinavian-Canadian Studies *
"Joan Templeton's much-anticipated book does not disappoint. Concisely written, cogently argued, richly illustrated, and beautifully designed . . . it should be read by anyone interested in Ibsen, Munch, modern drama, comparative literature, and modern Scandinavian studies. . . . Templeton's important study with its many brilliant insights and superb illustrations will undoubtedly serve as a catalyst for future scholarship."
-- Clarence Burton Sheffield, Jr. * Scandinavian Studies *
