Book description: London: Walter Scott, 1897. Second edition. Hard Cover. Good. Ibsen is generally acknowledged as the founder of modern prose drama. He moved away from the Romantic style, and brought the real problems and ideas of the day onto the stage of his time. Ibsen wrote for and about the middle class and life in small towns. He focused on characters and psychological conflicts rather than dramatic situations. His central theme was the duty of the individual towards himself. Pillars of Society (1877) deals with a wealthy and hypocritical businessman whose dangerous course almost results in the death of his son. A Doll´s House (1879) is a social drama, which caused a sensation at the time and toured Europe and America. In the play a woman refuses to obey her husband and walks out from her apparently perfect marriage, her life in the "doll's house". This play has been presented several times in movies and television. 389 pages with an additional 20 pages of ads. This book was clearly owned by an Ibsen fan, as there are several loose newspaper clippings from the late 1800s about his works included. A photograph of Ibsen is included in the inside cover, and an article is pasted down on the ffep, with another on the recto of the last page. The binding is loose, with light wear at the corners and moderate wear at the spine ends. The spine has a vertical rub. 5" x 7 1/2" tall
