Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) is often called 'the Father of Modern Drama'. Born in Norway, he left his homeland in 1864 for a 21-year long voluntary exile in Italy and Germany. After successes with the verse dramas Brand and Peer Gynt, he turned to prose, writing his great 12-play cycle of society dramas between 1877 and 1899. This included A Doll's House, Ghosts, Hedda Gabler, The Master Builder, and, finally, When We Dead Awaken. Geoffrey Hill is an English poet, and was Professor of Poetry at the University of Oxford from 2010 to 2015. He has published many volumes of poetry and critical writing, and his Broken Hierarchies: Collected Poems 1952-2012 appeared in 2013.
