Henrik Ibsen

"This edition of Sally Ledger's study of Henrick Ibsen includes a renewed bibliography and an expanded critical evaluation. It surveys Ibsen's total dramatic output, carefully situating his plays in their cultural, historical and intellectual contexts. Ibsen played a seminal role in the development of modern European drama at the end of the nineteenth century. Ledger's book traces the theatrical evolution of his plays as well as considering his impact on late-Victorian London, his response to the 'woman question', his anticipation of Freudian psychology and his debt to Darwinism."--BOOK JACKET.

Sally Ledger is Professor of Nineteenth-Century Literature at Birkbeck, University of London.
