Summary

Written late in Ibsen's career as a dramatist, the four plays in this volume move away from his earlier preoccupation with people at odds with society, to explore the inward struggle with their own thoughts, feelings and dreams. It depicts a powerful man's collapse, an idealist's beliefs, a man's self-deception, and a sister's bitter struggle.

The Master Builder and Other Plays by Henrik Ibsen

Written late in Ibsen's career as a dramatist, the four plays in this volume move away from his earlier preoccupation with people at odds with society, to explore the inward struggle with their own thoughts, feelings and dreams. It depicts a powerful man's collapse, an idealist's beliefs, a man's self-deception, and a sister's bitter struggle.
Henrik Ibsen was born at Skien in Norway in 1828. He was one of the earliest writers to dramatise the individual's alienation from society. Although never fully appreciated during his lifetime, he has since come to be recognised as one of the greatest dramatists and the 'Father of Modern Drama'. Translated by Una Ellis-Fermor
