The selection has been made to reflect the breadth and variety of scholarship into Ibsen’s plays during the past five decades.The articles cover a wide range of general topics, from his reception in England and an analysis of early perfomances of the plays in London to studies of his language and style, as well as individual essays on specific plays.These include Love’s Comedy, Ghosts, A Doll’s House, An Enemy of the People, Rosmersholm, Hedda Gabler, The Lady from the Sea, The Master Builder, and When We Dead Awaken. Contributors include James McFarlane, John Northam, Kristian Srnidt, Brian Johnston, Egil Törnqvist and Erik Østerud.
