About this book

Ibsen's late play John Gabriel Borkman was published in Copenhagen on 15 December 1896 and appears here in William Archer's translation, as volume eleven of the Collected Works. Its title character is a former bank director who has shut himself away for years. Around him are his wife Gunhild, her sister Ella Rentheim, his son Erhart and the poor clerk Foldal. Archer's introduction gathers what Ibsen's letters say about the play and lists its first stage productions in Scandinavia, Germany, London in 1897 and New York.
