Description

This collection of four major plays by Henrik Ibsen explores the complexities of human relationships and the societal pressures that shape individual lives. First performed in 1879, Doll's House sparked controversy with its unflinching portrayal of a hypocritical society, a theme continued in Ghosts, its immediate successor. In Hedda Gabler and The Master Builder, Ibsen shifts his focus to the inner struggles of individuals, revealing the darker aspects of human nature.

Through his dramatic prose, Ibsen masterfully conveys the inner turmoil of his characters, exposing the flaws and contradictions that lie beneath the surface of words. This collection of plays is taken from the acclaimed Oxford Ibsen edition, edited by James McFarlane.
