The Plays of Henry Ibsen

Henrik Johan Ibsen (20 March 1828, Skien, Norway–23 May 1906, Kristiania [formerly Christiania; now Oslo]), known as the 'father of prose drama', is considered one of the world's greatest playwrights and one of the founders of modern drama. His dramatic output can be divided into three periods: Romantic (1850-73), Realistic (1877-90) and Symbolist (1892-99).
