Abstract

Compiling the 30 articles written by Romanian linguist and philologist Sextil Pușcariu and published in the literary magazine Familia between 1897-1898, the volume Sextil Pușcariu și exegeza operei lui Henrik Ibsen în revista „Familia”: 4/16 maiu 1897 – 28 decembre 1897: (9 ian. 1898), put together by a group of eleven students attending the Norwegian language, literature and culture optional module at the Faculty of Letters, Cluj-Napoca, and coordinated by Professor Sanda Tomescu Baciu and Professor Ștefan Gencărău, seeks to anthologize Pușcariu’s critical study, which spanned 52 issues during its initial publication. Preserving the writing style of the time, the volume gives the modern Romanian reader an integral and authentic account of the academic and literary techniques used to discuss, analyze, reinterpret and reexamine the plays of one of the most important figures in modern dramaturgy.
