词汇 | ibsenity |
词源 | Ibsenity. A storm of conservative outrage greeted Henrik Ib- sen’s Hedda Gabler (1890) and The Master Builder (1892), one critic coining the word Ibsenity as a synonym for obscenity. But Ibsen remained a contentious man until the end, even on his deathbed. “You seem to be improving,” his attending nurse told him that evening. “On the contrary,” Ibsen countered. These were his last words, winning him his final argument with the world. |
