A Dolls House And Other Plays
Paperback Edition: 1/1970
The plays in this volume, each written a decade apart, demonstrate different sides of Henrik Ibsen's genius, but all deal with themes of alienation from society and the breaking down of convention. A Doll's House portrays a woman questioning her duty to her husband and seeking to escape from the stifling confines of her marriage - a theme that shocked contemporary audiences and established Ibsen's name outside Scandinavia. In The League of Youth, his first prose drama, Ibsen created a vivid comedy about a hypocritical politician, and in The Lady From the Sea he depicts a woman who longs for the life she enjoyed by the sea before she was married.
