About this book
Ghosts and Two Other Plays gathers three dramas by the Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906), translated by R. Farquharson Sharp and first issued in 1911 as number 552 in J.M. Dent's Everyman's Library. Alongside the title play it contains The Warriors at Helgeland, an early saga drama of 1858, and An Enemy of the People, in which Dr. Stockmann is branded a public enemy for exposing the contaminated water of his town's baths. Ghosts itself, written in 1881, provoked one of the great theatrical scandals of the century; its treatment of inherited disease and family hypocrisy was denounced across Europe, and Ibsen answered the uproar with An Enemy of the People a year later. This inexpensive Everyman volume helped carry his work to ordinary English readers.
