Reviews for Peer Gynt
'Christopher Fry, a poet of genius, has added, in his translation of Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt, a new work of genius to English Literature. Peer Gynt never 'read right' in English before. Now it does.' Dr R.C. Poole, Dept. of English, University of Nottingham 'an ultimately bleak but nonetheless entertaining classic' Herts Advertiser
