5/21/2023 0 Comments Ghost play by henrik ibsenMost theater of Ibsen’s time was either melodrama, sappy romance or farcical comedy. These include some of the masterworks of social realism, including A Doll’s House (1879), Ghosts (1881), An Enemy of the People (1882), The Wild Duck (1884), Hedda Gabler (1890), and The Master Builder (1891) among many others. For the next two decades, he published a series of plays, usually at the rate of one every other year. With plays like Brand and Peer Gynt, he began to establish his reputation, and it was with the publication and success of The Pillars of Society in 1877 that Ibsen began what is known by most critics and historians as his great period.
