A workshop looking at the new translations of Ibsen’s plays A Doll’s House and When We Dead Awaken and Laura Kieler’s play Men of Honour, to be published by OUP in their Worlds Classics series in November 2025. Laura Kieler, the model for Nora in A Doll’s House, had a complex, ongoing interaction with Ibsen, conducted across several decades and, most intriguingly, through these three plays in which they speak to one another. With excerpts from the plays and other relevant texts voiced by professional actors, the workshop will look at Laura Kieler’s life, literary and sociopolitical works, her role in the provenance of Ibsen’s international fame, her response to his use of her ‘life’, here translated into English for the first time, and Ibsen’s subsequent justification of the (male) artist’s exploitation of lives and bodies. Context is all, and context makes for relevance. Laura Kieler’s voice is central to an understanding of Ibsen – and of her times and our times. The workshop will be led by the Kieler and Ibsen scholars Kirsten Shepherd and Tzen Sam, and by the translator Gaye Kynoch.

Bridge of Sighs

陌染MM

The Bridge of Sighs (Oxford University, UK) is officially called Hertford Bridge. It is a famous attraction at Oxford University. The construction of the Bridge of Sighs began in 1913 (completed in 1914). It crosses New College Road and connects the old and new parts of Hertford College. It is a famous attraction at Oxford University. It was designed by Sir Thomas Jackson. Because the bridge is similar to the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, Italy, it is called the Bridge of Sighs. I came to Oxford University with a tour group and could only take a quick look.
