Opis

Excerpt from Plays It has been said that Bjornson was the first dramatist who - in "A Business Failure" (En Fallit) - succeeded in creating a genuine home atmosphere on the stage. And speaking of "Love and Geography," the late Henrik Jćger, Norway's foremost literary historian, had this to say: "Bjornson is as consistent in his glorification of the home and the family as is Ibsen, in raising the personality, the individual, to the skies....In the name of personal self-expression, Ibsen lets a wife leave her home to seek by herself a way toward clearness and independence; in the name of the home, Bjornson brings an estranged married couple back into each other's arms." This intense feeling for home and home ties asserts itself in all of Bjornson's work. It was part of his nature and may to some extent have been derived from his peasant ancestry. Whenever he refers to this side of mans existence, his voice seems to grow mellower, his imagination more vivid. Few have surpassed him in the power of endowing a domestic interior with that warm light which flows from an open fire in the gloaming, when there is no other light to rival it. And he seemed to have a special genius for presenting every kind of relationship based on blood-kindred in the most attractive colours. In illustration may be quoted the exquisite scene between brother and sister in the second act of "Beyond Human Might." It would not be safe, however, to conclude that "Love and Geography" is a sermon preached on behalf of the home as opposed - one might say - to the individuals within it.
