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)

INTRODUCTION

sure
what
Women's
Rights
really
are'
(i.e.
as
differentiated
from
human
rights
in
general).
A
Doll's
House.,
in
other
words,
was
not
about
female
emancipation
any
more
than
Ghosts
was
about
syphilis
or
An
Enemy
of
the
People
about
bad
hygiene.
Its
theme,
like
theirs,
was
the
need
of
every
individual
to
find
out
the
kind
of
person
he
or
she
really
is,,
and
to
strive
to
became
that
person.
He
knew
what
Freud
and
Jung
were
later
to
assert,
that
liberation
can
om>
come
from
within;
which
was
why
he
expressed
to
George
Brandes
his
lack
of
interest
in
'special
revolutions,
revolutions
in
externals,
in
the
political
sphere
.
.
.
What
is
really
wanted',
he
declared,
'is
a
revolution
of
the
spirit
of
man.'
