Ibsen Exposed: Atle Næss’s Sensommer and Niels Fredrik Dahl’s Henrik og Emilie
View through CrossRef
AbstractIn this article the author considers two Norwegian fictionalizations of the historical figure Henrik Ibsen. Building on theories of biographical fiction and biographical theater, the author examines how contemporary writers Atle Næss and Niels Fredrik Dahl represent Ibsen’s body in the novel Sensommer (1987) and the play Henrik og Emilie (2006) respectively, and explores the implications of how this focus on Ibsen's corporeality affects his reception and canonization. The author finds that both authors employ a discourse of impotence and intimacy, which reinforces the more speculative elements of ostensibly factual biographical writing about Ibsen.
