An Enemy of the People is an 1882 play by the Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, who wrote it in response to the public outcry against his previous play, Ghosts, which challenged the hypocrisy of 19th-century morality.

The "Way of Peace" is a New Thought book written by James Allen. Although Allen is more widely known for his "As a Man Thinketh", it is the lesser known "The Way of Peace" (1907) which reflects more accurately his New Thought Movement affiliations, referencing as it does Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism.

Even the exact date of his birth is uncertain. 23rd April generally accepted to be the date of his birth, could be a scholarly mistake amplified by the coincidence of it also being the date of his death. His iconic status now spans global literature and stems directly from the magnitude of his plays, both tragedies and comedies, and his poetry which is often cited as some of the greatest love poetry ever written.

La raccolta degli "Inni sacri" sarebbe dovuta essere composta, secondo le originali intenzioni dell'autore, di dodici testi ("Il Natale", "L'Epifania", "La Passione", "La Risurrezione", "L'Ascensione", "La Pentecoste", "Il Corpo del Signore", "La Cattedra di San Pietro", "L'Assunzione", "Il Nome di Maria", "Ognissanti", "I Morti") riguardanti le principali festività liturgiche del cattolicesimo.
