Peer Gynt (Peer Gynt: Et dramatisk Digt)

The Danish-Norwegian original is the true first: Copenhagen, Gyldendalske Boghandel (F. Hegel), 14 November 1867 — Gyldendal had been Ibsen's publisher since Brand (1866), so a Copenhagen imprint on a Norwegian-language text is correct and not a translation. The census claim is confirmed. No English edition contends: Peer Gynt first appeared in English only in 1892, in William and Charles Archer's translation, twenty-five years after the original, so every English-language Peer Gynt is a translation and never a first edition of the work. Where an English text is collected, the Archer 1892 translation is the edition of record.
