A Doll’s House; an Enemy of the People; Hedda Gabler

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)
