Written in 1879, A Doll’s House has been called the first truly feminist play. A scathing critique of the traditional roles of men and women in nineteenth century marriage, it caused scandal throughout Europe at a time when marriage was regarded as the most sacred of society’s institutions. In Britain this uproar led to it being banned under the 1737 Licensing Act. This compact hardcover is a beautiful classic collector’s edition, and the page decorations and illustrations make it a pleasure to read.A Doll’s House was written by Isben when he lived in Italy. It illustrates his belief that man and wife were denied equality by the rigid confines of the law and convention, which inevitably led critics to respond that he had no respect for the sanctity of marriage. This revolutionary realist play in three acts has since come to be accepted as Isben’s masterpiece. Lovers of classic literature, as well as readers interested in the evolution of feminist literature need a copy of this in their library.
