The Late Henrik Ibsen.

To northern Europe must be given
tine credit of having maintained the
literary supremacy of the Aryan race
during the latter half of the 18th
century. Since the death of Heine. in
1856 the jewish contribution to the
literature of the world has scarcely
teen noticeable, and while there are
still few Jewish men of talent in the
field. they can not begin to compete
with the massive minds of the north.
Rarely. indeed, have four men of such
consummate artistic power as
Turgueneo and Tolstoi. Bjorn5on and
Ibsen. appeared at the same time in
the field of literature.
OF these four men Ibsen was un-
uuestionably the one least happily
situated in his childh God and youth.
Turluenco and Tostoi were both born
to wealth and social POSITION; and
Bjornson. while compelled to struggle
for a living possessed something which
something which Ibsen never pos
sessed.-namely the power to make
himself popular in society. OF shy
and retrospective mind, Ibsen was
doomed to social failure. and no man
knew 1t better than he did. But if this
defect of his nature resulted in social
nctr
his literary salvation. His youthful
Impressions of his own relation to
society furnished the material which
his more mature power was destined to
convert into most exquisite works of
art. For him there could be no COM
promise with society. In his first
youthful work the gauntlet was thrown
down. and his fifty years of literary life
have been an incessant warfare agains;
all the defects from which human
society have ever suffered. The world
VIII now acknowledge that he has
carried the laurels of victory to hi.

performance it almost paralyZed the
stiff. self-seeking aristocracy of the
Norwegian Capital. They had en-
countercd a foe who could read them
through and through.
While Ibsen's name has become
known to the world at large manly
through his latest series of dramas all
competent critics agree that 'he
elimination of his literary power was
reached before the publication or u''S
series. His masterpiece is not YET
known to the reading public OUTSIDE OIL
Scandinavia "Peer Gynt" written in
1860 is probably in more sense 'hai'
one the most curious literary production
ever published. An adequate descrlp-
tion of this drama is impossible. nor
has il ever been translated salts
factorily, although many attempts
have heen made. 1t seeks to portray
tho Universal Egotist.-that well
known deity whose worshipers are
found in every clime,-who calls him
self a .citizen of the world by tempera-
ment and disposition: and before we
are through with him, we have met
him in America as maker of idols for
the heathens in Asia; and then again
in the deserts of Arabia where he as
sumes the role Of a prophet. In perus-
ing this work, the reader finds himself
but it is looked upon as perhaps the
most optimistic work we have from
Ibsen's pen. peer Gynt" is caught at
last in the inevitable net which ever
closes around the egotist, but in the
last moment he is saved by the woman
who had loved him from childhood. He
could not go down to destruction
because there were women behind
him" And after all, woman in the
double roll of conQueror and savior of
Egotism. may be an idea worth con-
sidering.
On account of the opposition with
which he met in Norway, Ibsen left his
native land early in his career, and
remained for over twenty years in
voluntary exile. He was a lonely man
and a sufferer all his life. Even upon
his return to Norway some years ago.
when every gate was thrown open, and
the most unstinted recognition accorded
him. he could not feel entirely at home.
and he has lived in a state of seclusion
ever since AS an illustration of the
which is SO often as
sociat ted with genius, it may be stated
that it was his habit to work during the
midnight hours. and that he always
kept brass monkey on his writing
table, without which, it is said, he could
not write at all.
But though he was a lonely man in
his life, he was not so in his death.
The world may now repeat the message
which BjornsOn sent to him on his
sixtieth birthday. To-day the world is
coming to the lonely one"
