Norway's Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) and Sweden's August Strindberg (1849-1912) were modern Scandinavia?s most important dramatists. Ibsen's realistic social dramas influenced writers like Gerhard Hauptmann, G. B. Shaw, and Arthur Miller, and Strindberg's innovative (often surreal) dramas exerted a major influence on both naturalistic and expressionistic theater. Together, the legacy of Ibsen and Strindberg continues to resonate on stages around the world.
