Riassunto

This is the fourth volume of a six-volume collection presenting all sixteen of Ibsen's major plays written in the thirty-four years from 1865 to 1899. Each volume offers a cross-section of these plays so as to illustrate the different phases of his dramatic genius.
This volume contains his first great modern prose play and his last two. The Pillars of Society, written between 1875 and 1877, exhibits many of the classic elements which recur in the subsequent plays - a marriage founded on a lie, women stunted by social conventions, an arrogant man destroying the happiness of those around him. John Gariel Borkman (1896), according to Edvard Munch, is "the most powerful winter landscape in Scandinavian art"; and Ibsen's last play, When We Dead Awaken (1899), also dealing with "the coldness of heart", showed, said Bernard Shaw, "no decay of Ibsen's highest qualities. His magic is nowhere more potent."
