About This Item

London: Heinemann, 1891. First English edition. 8vo, pp. 235 + adv. Bound in cloth backed boards, a very nice copy. With a mounted photogravure of H. I. Serving as frontispiece. See Printing and the Mind of Man 375. This translation was reprinted in America the same year. One of Ibsen's major feminist plays, despite the author's modest claims that the spiritual struggles he depicts were universal and not unique to one gender.

Synopsis

*The action takes place in a villa in Kristiania (now Oslo). Hedda Gabler, daughter of an aristocratic General, has just returned from her honeymoon with Jørgen Tesman, an aspiring young academic, reliable but not brilliant, who has combined research with their honeymoon. It becomes clear in the course of the play that she has never loved him but has married him for reasons pertaining to the boring nature of her life, and it is suggested that she may be pregnant...* ([Wikipedia][1]) [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedda_Gabler#Plot
