Svanhild (play) (original) (raw)
Svanhild is an 1860 incomplete prosaic comedy by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, inspired by themes of Norwegian romantic nationalism, Germanic heroic legend and Norse saga literature. The title of the play suggests that it would be centered around Svanhildr, daughter of the Norse-Germanic mythological figure Sigurd. Ibsen left the work as a draft, and as such it was never officially published in his lifetime. However, an incomplete version of the manuscript was published in 1887 by Ibsen biographer Henrik Jæger as part of an article in Folkebladet.

However, an incomplete version of the manuscript was published in 1887 by Ibsen biographer Henrik Jæger as part of an article in Folkebladet. Ibsen revisited the text of Svanhild later, and the resulting work was the 1862 play Love's Comedy. Though a complete manuscript has never been published, a play based on the available material was produced and performed by the Theatre of Cruelty in Oslo on the 14th of March 2014. (en) |
