A Doll's House (Cambridge Literature) (Available to order)

"I've got to do it by myself. And that's why I'm leaving you." Nora's painful statement to her husband shook the foundations of society when the curtain came down on the first performance of The Doll's House in 1877. The story of Nora's escape from a crippling marriage is both anguished and honest, and it provides a classic view of the status of women in European society at the time. But for Ibsen perhaps all the characters are trapped: "for me it has been a question of human rights...my task has been the portrayal of human beings."
