| description | The article discusses the uproar which resulted from the decision to translate Henrik Ibsen’s drama
Peer Gynt (1867) from one of the official written Norwegian languages (riksmål/bokmål) to the other
(landsmål/nynorsk) in 1947/48 in connection with a theatre production which had its premiere in
March 1948. Many Norwegians regard Peer Gynt as the greatest work of their national literature, and
therefore many of them considered it close to sacrilegious to stage it in nynorsk, the language which
Ibsen did not use and, in fact, strongly disliked. Some Norwegians protested vehemently against
translating the drama to nynorsk, while others found the idea perfectly acceptable. The article thus
offers an interesting example of a split between two language cultures within one nation. |
