Strindberg and Ibsen: Toward a Cubism of Time in Drama
View through CrossRef
In some ways the relation between Strindberg and Ibsen is entirely obvious. The echoes of Peer Gynt in Lucky Pellr's Journey and the attack on A Doll's House in Sir Bengt's Wife require no comment; nor does it seem to me at all unlikely — even though the original titles are not as similar as their English translations — that The Ghost Sonata has to do with Ghosts in an oblique manner. In both the visionary and the realistic modes, the attempt to surpass Ibsen is a constant factor in Strindberg's intention; Strindberg is always more extreme, but the distance separating him from Ibsen is still finite, Ibsen's presence in his background still discernible.
