About this book
This volume contains Ibsen's two most famous and frequently read, studied and performed plays about women: A Doll's House (1879), his first international success, which 'exploded like a bomb into contemporary life', and Hedda Gabler (1890), now one of his most popular plays, but greeted at first with bewilderment and outrage ('The play is simply a bad escape of moral sewage-gas' Pictorial World). Also included is An Enemy of the People (1883), whose central character was the actor Konstantin Stanislavski's favourite role.Michael Meyer's translations are 'crisp and cobweb-free, purged of verbal Victoriana' (Kenneth Tynan)

whatÂ
Women'sÂ
Rights
really
are'
(i.e.
as
differentiated
from
humanÂ
rights
in
general).
A
Doll's
House.,
in
other
words,
wasÂ
not
aboutÂ
femaleÂ
emancipation
any
moreÂ
than
Ghosts
was
about
syphilis
or
An
Enemy
ofÂ
the
People
about
bad
hygiene.
Its
theme,
like
theirs,
wasÂ
the
need
of
every
individual
toÂ
findÂ
outÂ
the
kind
of
person
heÂ
orÂ
she
really
is,,
andÂ
to
strive
to
became
that
person.
He
knew
whatÂ
Freud
and
JungÂ
wereÂ
later
to
assert,
thatÂ
liberation
can
om>
come
from
within;Â
which
wasÂ
whyÂ
he
expressed
to
George
Brandes
his
lack
of
interest
in
'special
revolutions,Â
revolutions
in
externals,
inÂ
the
politicalÂ
sphere
.

.
What
is
really
wanted',
he
declared,
'is
a
revolution
ofÂ
the
spirit
of
man.'
