DIRECTED SEYMOUR STUDY LATON. CIRCLE COP FRIGHTED BATON predecessors in literature. A brief review of his career, with an epitome of Scandinavian literature, will show this Very plainly. During his long years of voluntary exile in Italy and Germany Ibsen followed the social development In Norway with the keenest interest. And in all his writings Norway has been uppermost in his thoughts.

He has himself said in a verse: "In dream and drama I live in Norway." Old Norse Literature. During the Middle ages the old Norsemen produced a great and unique literature in both poetry and prose. It was preserved in Iceland, which was colonized by Norwegians in the Tenth century, and hence is known as old Norse or Icelandic literature. It Is of vast extent and great importance: a reference to any encyclopedia will convince the reader of this fact. From the socalled Eddas we get our knowledge of Northern mythology.

In the Sagas we have historical accounts by men that stand worthily by the side of Herodotus and Thucydides as historians. Some of the Sagas give a history of the Norwegian Kings; others are descriptive of life in Iceland- not mere chronicles, but the products of men with an instinct for the dramatic presentation of events. The golden age of this old Norse literature was during the Twelfth and Thirteenth centuries, Then, as was the case after the Elizabethan age in England, there was a decline in literary activity. The Eddas and Sagas were stored away in monasteries and forgotten. But during the early part of the Eighteenth century an interest in this literature was aroused, when collectors gathered a very large number of manuscripts and transported them to Denmark (to which country Iceland belongs), where they have been preserved.

The old Norse language is still spoken in Iceland. The other Scandinavdan languages- Norwegian, Swedish and Danish- -are modern dialects of the old Northern tongue, and each has its HENRIK IBSEN. HENRIK Leotly simple and so irresistibly affectIng." It may not be possible in short space to lead the reader over the highways and byways of Ibsen's strange muse, and yet it is not impossible to interest the general reader in him both as a poet and. a man: No doubt many Americans have been deterred from givIng respectful consideration to Ibsen on account of the sweeping denunciation he has so often been subjected to. But it is well to remember that great and original genius, especially in literature, is recognized and admitted only after a desperate fight.

Ibsen has had his. And surely no other author ever was 50 well equipped to bear opposition. Adversity has never been able to cow him. When the Ibsen fad struck England in the early '90s the press exhausted its store of vile epithets in opposition, and he received scarcely any better treatment in this country. Nor has he, at times, fared particularly better in the north.

But when Ibsen, on the 20th of March, 1898, celebrated his seventieth birthday he received such a homage as no other Scandinavian writer ever received. The occasion gave ample evidence of the fact that as a poet, as a literary and dramatic artist, Ibsen had reached the pinnacle of success, The hopes and aspirations of his youth had been realIzed beyond the hopes of his wildest dreams. And when we see from what small beginnings he arose, see with what fidelity he labored for literary mastery, how he never swerved from the path of duty as he saw it. how faithfully he pondered to know himself, and how true he has been to that self, In adversity and in prosperity, then we shall discover much in him to respect and admire, even though we may find things in his writings that do not strike a responsive chord in us. It is unfortunate that American readfirst learned of Ibsen through his ers social dramas.

In these his themes were too new. his literary treatment too drastic, to gain a sympathetic hearing from a public that had not followed his previous development. Before these were written he had already achieved fame in traditional forms of literature the historical drama. the dramatic poem and the lyric. These, adequately presented.

an American public could have undarstood and appreciated. But the "sententious melody and richness" of his verse long terrorized all translators. To understand Ibsen his works must be read in chronological order, for each is a link in a long chain of ethical development. There is a continuity in them that can not well be disregarded. Some Norwegian critics have charged that the social conditions revealed in Ibsen's modern dramas are not true to Norwegian life, They have been averse to acknowledging the weaknesses they portray.

On the other hand, continental critics have averred that Ibsen knew Norway, and Norway only, Hamlin Garland states the question aptly when he says: "Ibsen deals with life, and modern life- -primarily with Norwegian life, but with the life of other lands secondarily, for the reason that his theme is common and modern and his aim truth. The passions, situations, of his dramas appeal to us as real because they are actualities of his land and time." Shakespeare's spirit is universal, but his works, nevertheless, were a product of English conditions. In like manner Ibsen is a product of Norweconditions. His genius would gian doubtless have asserted itself regardless of time and place, but the fact nevertheless remains that the course it took was determined by his Norwegian covironment and by his Scandinavian ANNUAL Popular Studies In Literature. A Review of Scandinavian Literature.

By JULIUS EMIL OLSON, B. L. Tolstol, Zola, Ibsen. These are the three names more widely known in Europe than any other contemporary writers. Tolstoi and Ibsen are the same age, both having been born in 1828; Zola was born in 1840.

But Ibsen has been before the public longer than the other two, having begun his authorship in 1850. There is a certain ponderousness, spontaneity and breadth of sweep in both Tolstol and Zola that Ibsen lacks, but as a conscious literary artist he stands higher than these. And by virtue of his highly developed literary skill he has maintained a firmer and more enduring grip on his public than they, In spite of the fact that no other author of modern times exacts so much of his readers. His writings are full of riddles, mysteries and dark questionjakin to the brooding mysticism of his native land. He has confined himself almost exclusively to one form of literary expression, the drama, and we need not hesitate to rank him as the greatest living dramatist; this even his most virulent opponents admit.

One of these, Max Nordau, who has denounced Ibsen as a degenerate, says of him: "The power with which Ibsen, in a few rapid strokes, sketches a situation, an emotion, a dim-lit depth of the soul, is very much greater than his skill, so much. extolled, of foreshortening in time. Each of the terse words which suffice him has something of the nature of a peep-hole through which limitless vistas are obtained. The plays of all peoples of all ages have few situations at once so per- direct outcome of Oehlenschlaeger's enkindling enthusiasm. It is interesting to note that as a resuit of Holberg's and Oehlenschlaeger's success, the drama has in Scandinavia continued to hold its own in popular favor with the novel, something that can not be said of it in other lands.

As young men Ibsen and Bjornson had found Intellectual pablum in these dramas, and following the path blazed out by the great Dane, the subjects LUDWIG HOLBERG. their first significant dramas were taken from the Saga period, the literary products of which had been ably set forth by competent scholars. There Is striking originality in Ibsen's modern social dramas, as we shall see, but he drew his first literary nourishment from Scandinavian sources, and first patterned after Scandinavian models.

He has humor, imagination and pathos. His subject was. handled with spirit and vigor. The lecturer showed that Newman was not merely a brilliant master of style and 8 profound thinker and learned scholar, but a simple, brave and pure man, who at first excited much controversy and bitterness, but died universally esteemed and beloved throughout England and among all men of culture and refinement, "As the head of the Oxford movement, Newman," said the lecturer, "worked great change of sentiment among Protestants everywhere, but especially in England and America. Even those who differ from him respect his purity and sincerity.

In all the universities of the world Newman is studied and admired, and his fame is still undiminished."

separate literature. Sweden and Denmark played but little part in old Norse literature. This relates primarily to life in Norway and Iceland. Sweden produced a great literature during the Eighteenth and Nineteenth centuries, but it bears only little relation to the main current of Scandinavian literature to be reviewed in connection with the name of Ibsen. That current runs from old Norse through Danish to modern Norwegian literature.

Holberg, the Father of Modern Danish Literature. Norway and Denmark were united politically from 1380 until 1814. During this time they had a literature in common. The first really great writer of this period was Ludwig Holberg (1684- 1754). He was reared in Norway, but he lived and wrote in Denmark.

He 19 called the father of modern Danish literature. His great task was to free the Danes from a paralyzing foreign influence in their intellectual life. This he did through his comedies. When he appeared on the scene the educated classes wrote Latin, spoke French to the ladies, German to their dogs and Danish to their servants. Holberg, a man of great linguistic talent, broad learning, extensive travel, inimitable wit and unusual good sense, revolutionized things literary and inguistic, and did it through works that are still read with the keenest zest.

Holberg, however, knew nothing of old Norse or its literature. A renaissance with the literary treasures of the Scandinavian past as a fountainhead of Inspiration was effected half a century after his death by the Dane Oehlenschlaeger. After Holberg followed a literary epoch known as the Age of Enlightenment, an age devoid of real literary spirit, but characterized by religious and social struggles, with impulses from Locke in. England and Voltaire In France. In Scandinavia, as elsewhere in Europe and in America, the people were clamoring for their inalienable rights.

The literature of the period was didactic and utilitarian. Poetry was viewed as the pretty garb of practical knowledge. Oehlenschlager and Romanticism In Scandinavia. The new century ushered in a literary movement that came in conflict with this practical poetry. It was the so-called romantic movement.

The impuise came from Germany, where it was maintained that poetry was of value per se in that it refined and ennobled the mind and made it responsive to that which was great and noble in life. Oehlenschlaeger (1759-1850) was the apostle of this new gospel in Scandinavia, and a mighty apostle he was. He delved into the hidden stores of old Norse literature and there found themes for his modern muse. His first notes were like those of a rising lark. He achieved wonderful success.

The lovely creations of his fancy- cycles of poems on mythological themes, tragedies and stories based on the Old Norse Saga- became As popular in Denmark and Norway as Scott's novels are in Great Britain and America. His zeal was communicated to younger writers, and a whole school of romanticists was soon in the field. Sweden and Norway furnished their quota of workers.
