Description

Three of Henrik Ibsen’s major plays appear together in this 1904 edition: Rosmersholm, The Lady from the Sea, and Hedda Gabler. Each explores the pressure that marriage, social expectations, and private desires place on individual lives.

In Rosmersholm, political convictions become entangled with guilt and personal loyalty. The Lady from the Sea examines a woman’s freedom to choose her future within marriage. Hedda Gabler follows a restless newly married woman whose attempts to control the lives around her lead to tragedy.

Published during Ibsen’s lifetime, this authorised English edition was edited by William Archer. The cloth binding retains bright gilt lettering and Ibsen’s facsimile signature on the front board.
