HENRIK ISBEN: A DOLL'S HOUSE (With Text)

Henrik Ibsen was the foremost of Scandinavian dramatists who gave a new meaning to theatre through his problem plays in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Plays like A Doll’s House, Ghosts, The Pillars of Society and An Enemy of the People shocked and stunned the people with the radical views they espoused and raised storms of protest all over Europe when they appeared. James Joyce described Ibsen as possibly the greatest genius of the modern times. A Doll’s House created a sensation when it was staged in the scandanavian capitals in the 1880’s and later across Europe and the Americas for its bold and unconventional theme of a woman walking out of her home in quest of her own identity. Henrik Ibsen was hailed as a champion of women’s rights and the play created a universal sensation. This critical study of one of his most acclaimed plays takes into account the times of Ibsen and the background to the play and analyses it from all possible angles so as to be useful and handy to the students and scholars of universities in India and abroad.
