Sinossi

In "The Vikings of Helgeland," Henrik Ibsen delves into the rich tapestry of Norse mythology and Viking culture, employing a poetic and evocative literary style that explores themes of love, honor, and destiny. Set against the backdrop of the rugged landscapes of Helgeland, Ibsen intertwines historical events with fictionalized narratives, bringing to life the complexities of human relationships amidst the unforgiving nature of the time. The play'Äôs structure, reminiscent of classical tragedies, showcases Ibsen'Äôs mastery in character development while embedding the narrative within a broader commentary on societal norms and individual aspirations. Henrik Ibsen, a pivotal figure in modern drama, draws on his Norwegian heritage and deep understanding of folklore to craft this work. His exposure to the richly storied ancestry and oral traditions of his homeland has informed his portrayal of the Viking ethos. Through this play, Ibsen reflects his lifelong preoccupation with the conflict between personal desire and societal expectations, themes central to his oeuvre, which has profoundly influenced subsequent playwrights and authors across genres. I enthusiastically recommend "The Vikings of Helgeland" to readers interested in classical literature and theatrical works that marry history with psychological depth. Ibsen'Äôs exploration of the human condition, framed within the evocative context of Viking culture, not only captivates but also invites introspection on the universal dilemmas of honor and love, making it a timeless read.

    Based on the historical record of Bessie’s ‘confession’ to witchcraft in sixteenth-century Scotland, the episodic structure of the play shows the many characters and events that supposedly made up the catalogue of her crimes, but which in fact testify to her innocence and goodness. Bessie Dunlop, the Witch o Dalry introduces students to different levels and varieties of Scots and English and contains teaching notes, suggestions for classroom activities, and questions for discussion or writing. The original version of Bessie Dunlop, the Witch o Dalry was written by John Hodgart and Martin Clarke in 1977. Hodgart rewrote the play for an EIS Drama competition before revising it again for Hodder and Staunton who published it as a school text in 1995. This 2021 shorter edition is the fourth version of the play.

    In Ben Rhys Palmer's joyful debut collection, discombobulated robots rub shoulders with philosophising hyenas, orangutan brides, Mesopotamian fish gods, and a psychotherapist from outer space.
    
    A Welsh poet based in Mexico, his poems about Mexico capture the magic and vibrancy of a country André Breton once described as 'the most surrealist in the world.' Other poems pay homage to Welsh cult heroes John Cale and Adrian Street, and Ben's plucky ancestor, Rebecca Howells, who emigrated to Patagonia after her husband was killed in a mining explosion at Blaengwawr Colliery.
    
    At once funny, tender, and beautifully bizarre, Breakfast with the Scavengers explores love, loss, loneliness, our never-ending quest for connection, and those blink-and-you-miss-them moments of transcendence that can light up our lives.
