Ibsen Plays: 3 by Henrik Ibsen
Includes three of Henrik Ibsen's most important works from his middle period. Generally regarded as the father of modern theater, Ibsen's 'influence on contemporaries and following generations, whether directly or indirectly.can hardly be overestimated' (John Russell Taylor). The three plays in this volume show how Ibsen gradually turned from the study of social problems to a closer concern with the sickness of individuals. In Rosmersholm (1886), he explores the hypnotic hold one person may gain over another, a theme he took up in his next play, The Lady from the Sea (1888), which reappears in Little Eyolf (1894), which William Archer ranked 'beside, if not above, the very greatest of Ibsen's works'.
Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) was a Norwegian playwright and poet whose realistic, symbolic and often controversial plays revolutionised European theatre. He is widely regarded as the father of modern drama. His acclaimed plays include A Doll's House, Ghosts, Hedda Gabler, An Enemy of the People and The Pillars of the Community. His centenary was celebrated in 2006.
