As one of the foremost dramatists of the 19th-century, Henrik Ibsen was in constant conflict with the society of his time. In this powerful work contrasting the enlightened and persecuted minority with the ignorant, powerful majority, he places his main character, Doctor Thomas Stockmann, in such a position. When the doctor learns that the famous and financially successful Baths in his home town are contaminated, he insists that they be shut down for expensive repairs. For his honesty, he is persecuted, ridiculed and declared an "enemy of the people" by the townspeople, including some who had been his closest friends. First staged in 1883, An Enemy of the People remains one of the most frequently performed plays by the writer regarded by many as the "father of modern drama." It follows in the wake of several other works by Ibsen's, including A Doll's House, currently a best-selling Dover Thrift Edition.

Ibsen's seminal play, which changed modern drama, is a searing view of a male-dominated and authoritarian society, presented with a realism that elevates drama to a level above mere entertainment.

The three plays in this volume cover the period during which Ibsen (1828-1906) was preoccupied with realistic problems of personal and social morality. In The Pillars of the Community, partly by means of symbolism, he exposes the effects of a lie told to preserve a man's public reputation. The solution - to admit the truth - scarcely seemed so simple seven years later, when Ibsen completed The Wild Duck in apparent disillusionment. Hedda Gabler, the latest of these plays, is both a drama of individual conflict and partial return to social themes.

Brand was Ibsen's first masterpiece, a poetic drama composed in 1865 and published to tremendous critical and popular acclaim. The unsparing vision of a priest driven by faith to risk and witness the deaths of his wife and child gives Brand its icy ferocity. When he was writing it in Italy, Ibsen declared: 'It is blessedly peaceful out here; no one I know; I read nothing but the Bible ...' Geoffrey Hill provides a new Preface to this third and revised edition of his great stage version of Brand.
