The Norwegian text material is based on Ibsen’s works as they appear in "
Folkeutgaven", published in Copenhagen 1898-1902. Apparent printing errors have been corrected according to the new edition
Henrik Ibsens Skrifter (2005-2010, University of Oslo, Aschoug & Co., Oslo). For critical editions and additional material on the Norwegian texts see
ibsen.uio.no.
For the translations it is the policy of MI to display, when available, the earliest translations made into each language, as these are considered to be of greatest historical interest. The translations are also arranged chronologically, to mirror the diffusion of Ibsen's work globally.
The Multilingual Ibsen is a project under development. Scholars, students and anyone else interested in the works of Henrik Ibsen are cordially invited to input translations of their favourite plays in their language of interest, and to contribute any other material to the project.
