lem himself. N isolated from his his
toric and romantic work.
Few authors have had so much oppo-
sition to meet, as has Ibsen. But few
have been better prepared 10 conquer
opposition. Adversely has never been
able to COW him when the Isben fad
struck England In the early 's0s the
press exhausted It's store of vile epi-
thets upon him. and dramatic critics
IN this country have been hardly less
inimical Nor has he, at times Jared
particularly better In his own country.
But when lbsen. on the goth Of March.
1898, celebrated his 10th birthday he
received such a homage ae no other
scandinavian writer ever received. lb-
sen had reached the pinnacle OF sue
cess. The hopes aud aspirations VI his
youth had been realized. And when we
see from what small beginnings he
arose see with what fidelity he labored
for literary mastery how he never
swerved from the path OF duty as he
saw &C. then we shall discover much In
him TO admire. even though many
things In his writings do not strike a
responsive chord IN us.
Ibsen seems 10 have arrived slowly
at the conviction that our social struc-
ture IL in many respects weak, and
that this Is the cause Of the sin hypoc-
riley, and misery SO often encountered.
The remedy he proposes is radical
With Schopenhauer he seeks indlvld-
ual responsibility ultimately In the VIII
Of the individual, and he believes that
human VIII IL not hampered by con-
ventlonalities and conventional ideals,
win naturally accord with the WIN of
the Infinite. The whole teaching may
be summed up IN the words of Bishop
Nicholas and Earl Skule IN "The Pre-
tenders The Bishop describes as the
saga OF every wise man:
"Fulnl your cravings
"Ay." says skule, FOR that which is
good
But by good the author does not
mean that which Is commonly held to
be good, but what the individual him
self. by his reading OF what the Inf
mite Good is working for in human at
fairs. shall determine Is good for him.
With this doctrine we may Justly
take exception, for man, apart from
revelation, does not know what IL
good" Conventionality may be wrong
in many of It's enactments, but intui-
ton ia not a safer guide. 1t is reve-
lation that man needs. But lbsen was,
nevertheless. a great Philosopher, a
careful and conscientious student Of
human nature. and the most accom-
plished dramatic writer Of his time.
Coming generations. We believe, will
fully appreciate him.
