IBSEN'S PROSE DRAMAS. 



EDITED BY WILLIAM ARCHER. 

 Crown 8vo, Cloth, each $1,25. 



The Norwegian dramatist, Henrik Ibsen, is at this moment 

 one of the most widely-discussed, if not the best known, of 

 European writers. His writings have given rise in Germany (to 

 say nothing of the Scandinavian kingdoms) to a whole literature 

 of books, pamphlets, and reviews ; while France possesses 

 translations of his most noted dramas. His name has been 

 made famous throughout the English-speaking world by the pro- 

 duction of A Doll's House in London, New York, Boston, and 

 Melbourne. In each of these cities it excited an almost unpre- 

 cedented storm of controversy. Hitherto, however, there has 

 existed no uniform and authoritative edition in English of the 

 plays of which so much has been said and written. An arrange- 

 ment has been concluded with Henrik Ibsen, under which will 

 be published a uniform series of his prose plays. Most of them 

 will be translated and all will be carefully revised by Mr. William 

 Archer, author of the translation of A Doll's House, performed in 

 June 1889 at the Novelty Theatre, London.
