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.
