Rezensionen

'By providing a new perspective of Ibsen's influence on the Irish Literary Revival, Malone illuminates previously overlooked aspects of the Revivial, opening new avenues for inquiry. Through study of audience and playwright response to Ibsen's work, Malone provides a unique view, chronologically following Ibsen's introduction to Ireland and tracing those aspects of his work that appear in Irish Literary Revival works.' - Journal of Dramatic Theory and Criticism
