Brand

In 1909 I wrote, at Mrs. Garrets request, the following note for Mr. E. T. Cooks Memoir of Edmund Garret: Garrets translation of Brand is, so far as the noblest and most vital portions of that great drama are concerned, a truly inspired piece of work. The pity and terror of the poem had entered into him and were part and parcel of his whole sense of human life." Philip H. WicksteedIbsen's early poetic drama, composed in 1865, in which a priest is driven by faith to risk and witness the deaths of his wife and child. Brand was Ibsens first masterpiece, published to tremendous critical and popular acclaim. Translated from the Norwegian by Fydell Edmund Garrett, with an introduction by Philip H. Wicksteed.
