Overview

Prof. Dr. Eller's Ibsen in Germany is a study of the part that the village has played in English literature since the middle of the eighteenth century, and represents an enormous amount of mole-like diligence. Scarcely a serious English poem, novel or play of the ensuing century has been overlooked. It is the last word in Ph.D-ismus. Dr. Eller goes almost as far. He has sought to find out just what influence Ibsen had upon the modern German drama and just what influence German taste and criticism had upon Ibsen, and to that end he has explored the dramatic reviews for forty years, and prodded into theater programmes and other such documents. The study is to be followed by one of Ibsen in England, by Miriam Franc, and perhaps by yet other volumes. Its appearance brings forward the fact that a new and complete Ibsen bibliography is something that some patient candidate for the doctorate should undertake. The Halvorsen bibliography, in Dano-Norwegian, is excellent so far as it goes, but it stops with 1901, and thus deals very meagrely with Ibsen's followers and chief commentators. My own collection of Ibseniana is at the disposal of any scholar who cares for the task. More, I shall be glad to keep him in tobacco and malt liquor while he is at it. -The Smart Set [1919]
