Sigurd Slembe (trilogy)
''Sigurd Slembe'' (''Sigurd the Bastard''; ''slembe'' may also be translated as "worthless" or "ill-disposed") is a trilogy of plays written by the Norwegian playwright Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson and published in 1862. It is regarded as his finest historical drama and was influenced by the works of William Shakespeare and Friedrich Schiller. It directly influenced Henrik Ibsen's ''The Pretenders'', written the following year, which explores some similar themes. In contrast to Ibsen's attempts to create a historical setting through artificially archaic language, Bjørnson's trilogy used contemporary language. The success of this approach seems to have prompted Ibsen to adopt a similarly modernistic approach to his later history plays. The trilogy is based on the history of the real Sigurd Slembe, a 12th-century pretender to the Norwegian throne, whose story was told in the medieval kings' sagas ''Heimskringla'', ''Fagrskinna'', and ''Morkinskinna''. The first part of the trilogy tak ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
