The first few pages of the book, before the Contents, have been rearranged in the order 4, 5, 2, 1, 3. Dividing lines show the original page breaks. Page numbers in [brackets] were not printed in the book, but are extrapolated from adjoining pages.
Variation between ö (Introduction and Advertising sections, including all references to "Björnstjerne Björnson") and ø (names within the plays) is unchanged. The letters á and æ do not occur in the translations.
