''Erasmus Montanus'' is a satirical play about academic snobbery set in rural Denmark. Written by Ludvig Holberg in 1722, the script was first published in 1731 and performed in 1747. Today, it is among Holberg's most frequently performed works. The play centers on its eponymous protagonist who returns to his rural village after studying in Copenhagen to find his new worldview causes conflicts in his everyday life. History The script was written in 1722 and 1723, but was not published until 1731 in the 5th volume of ''Den Danske Skue-Plads'', a collection of plays by Holberg.
