This volume presents four of Henrik Ibsen’s greatest plays in English translation, reflecting his critical role in modern drama and the transition from romanticism to realism. Themes include societal hypocrisy, individual freedom, family dynamics, and moral responsibility.
This volume brings together two of Ibsen’s great verse dramas—Peer Gynt and Brand—presented in a new poetic rendering by Geoffrey Hill, alongside his stage version of Brand, for the first time. The edition includes scholarly introduction and notes by Janet Garton, typical of the Penguin Classics line.
