Doll's House and Other Plays

'You've never loved me, you've only found it pleasant to be in love with me' The three plays in this volume 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 (1879) portrays a woman questioning her duty to her husband and seeking to escape the stifling confines of her marriage - a theme that shocked contemporary audiences and established Ibsen's name outside Scandinavia. In The League of Youth (1869), his first prose drama, Ibsen created a vivid comedy about a hypocritical politician, and in The Lady from the Sea (1888), he depicts a woman who longs to return to the life she enjoyed before she was married.Ibsen, Henrik is the author of 'Doll's House and Other Plays ', published 1965 under ISBN 9780140441468 and ISBN 0140441468.
