This study of Henrik Ibsen delivers readings of ten of Ibsen's best-known plays including A Doll's House, Ghosts, An Enemy of the People and Hedda Gabler, and surveys Ibsen's total dramatic output, carefully situating his plays in his cultural, historical and intellectual contexts.

By comparing the fictional representations with the lived experience of the "New Woman" of late-Victorian Britain, this text contributes to the undertanding of the "Woman question" at the the turn of the century and the consequences of a socio-sexual inhertitance for 20th century New Women writers.

Explores the operations of gender in the production of knowledge and the formation of cultural representations in a wide variety of contexts, from German romantic poetry to the literature of AIDS, from Victorian ethnography to tabloid constructions of race.
