Undoubtedly, the most comprehensive and detailed biography of Ibsen is the one written by the English journalist, author and translator Michael Meyer (1921-2000). His three-volume biography was published in 1967 (Vol. I Henrik Ibsen: The Making of a Dramatist 1828-1864) and in 1971 (Vol. Free Download Facebook Software For Nokia N97 Mini.

Michael Meyer had two lodestars in his work as a translator and intermediary of literature: Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg. He translated all of Ibsen’s plays from The Pretenders to When We Dead Awaken (except The League of Youth). He translated 18 of Strindberg’s plays in all. In 1985 he followed up with a broadly structured biography of Strindberg. He learnt Swedish as early as the 1940s, when he for a period of three years lectured in English literature at Uppsala University. Meyer was also a playwright and wrote three plays which were published the year after his death in a volume subtitled 'Three Plays About Ibsen and Strindberg': Lunatic and Lover, The Summer In Gossensass and A Meeting in Rome.

In the third play, which Meyer wrote as a radio drama for BBC Radio in 1991, he did no less than bringing the two giant playwrights and their wives (Suzannah Ibsen and Siri von Essen) together in a fictional meeting in Rome in 1884.
