of Holberg, Ohlenschlager and Andersen; see also vol.
i. of G. Brandes's _Main Currents in Nineteenth Century Literature_
(Eng. tr., London, 1901). As to the modern Norwegian drama see the
same writer's _Ibsen-Bjornson Studies_ (Eng. tr., London, 1899); also
E. Tissot, _Le Drame norvegien_ (Paris, 1893).
The Russian drama is treated in P. O. Morozov's _Istoria Russkago
Teatra_ (_History of the Russian Theatre_), vol. i. (St Petersburg,
1889); see also P. de Corvin, _Le Theatre en Russie_ (Paris, 1890). A.
Bruckner, _Geschichte der russischen Literatur_ (Leipzig, 1905), may
be consulted with advantage. Information as to the dramatic portions
of other Slav literatures will be found in A. Pipin and V. Spasovich's
_Istoria Slavianskikh Literatur_ (_History of Slavonic Literatures_),
German translation by T. Pech (2 vols., Leipzig, 1880-1884).
