“The three plays in this volume covers 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 lates of these plays, is both a drama of individual conflict and a partial return to social themes.”
