This volume contains Ibsen's two most famous 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 (1882), whose central character was Stanislavsky's favorite role.
"Meyer's translations of Ibsen are a major fact in one's general sense of post-war drama. Their vital pace, their unforced insistence on the poetic center of Ibsen's genius, have beaten academic versions from the field."-George Steiner

"Crisp and cobweb-free, purged of verbal Victoriana."-Kenneth Tynan

Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) is generally regarded as the father of modern theatre: "His influence on contemporaries and following generations, whether directly or indirectly ... can hardly be overestimated."-John Russell Taylor
