A Doll’s House: A Play by Henrik Ibsen

First published in the year 1879, the present book ‘A Doll’s House: A Play’ is a Norwegian play by Henrik Ibsen. This three act play is set in a Norwegian town circa 1879. The play is significant for the way it deals with the fate of a married woman, who at the time in Norway lacked reasonable opportunities for self-fulfillment in a male dominated world. It aroused a great sensation at the time, and caused a “storm of outraged controversy” that went beyond the theatre to the world newspapers and society.
