The Quintessence of Ibsenism is a book written by the famous playwright and critic George Bernard Shaw. The book is a critical analysis of the works of the Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, who is considered one of the greatest dramatists of the 19th century. Shaw’s book explores Ibsen’s plays, including A Doll’s House, Ghosts, and Hedda Gabler, and delves into the themes and ideas that are present in his works. The book also discusses Ibsen’s influence on modern drama and the impact his plays had on society during his time.The Quintessence of Ibsenism is divided into three parts. The first part examines Ibsen’s life and career, while the second part analyzes his plays in detail. The third part of the book is a series of essays that explore the themes and ideas present in Ibsen’s works, including the role of women in society, the nature of marriage, and the importance of individualism.Shaw’s writing is insightful and thought-provoking, and his analysis of Ibsen’s works is considered one of the most important studies of the playwright’s work. The Quintessence of Ibsenism is a must-read for anyone interested in the works of Henrik Ibsen or the history of modern drama.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
