List of Holberg's plays in English translation

Ludvig Holberg, the "Molière of the North",[1][2] wrote 33 Danish comedies between 1722 and 1753 — 15 of them ("the foundation for the entire Danish theatre"[3]) in a span of less than 18 months in 1722 and early 1723.

[3] In his long career, nominally in education, Holberg produced works in philosophy, law, finance, and history; essays, satirical verse, biographies, memoirs, and an early science fiction utopia.

[5][1][6] Despite this, no English translations of Holberg's comedies were made during his lifetime, and only 4 in the 19th century.

In the 20th century many translations appeared (including 14 published by The American-Scandinavian Foundation).

Jeppe on the Hill — his "most popular and most discussed play"[7] — is also the most frequently translated, followed by Erasmus Montanus.
