About this book
Ibsen wrote this three-act play in Christiania in 1894, and it came out in Copenhagen that December. It centres on the Allmers household: Alfred Allmers, his wife Rita, his half-sister Asta, and their small lame son Eyolf. A visit from a strange old woman known as the Rat-Wife sets the drama moving, and the marriage and conscience of the parents come under strain.
William Archer's translation carries his introduction, which traces the Rat-Wife to a rat-catcher Ibsen remembered from his home town of Skien and records the first Norwegian staging at the Christiania Theatre in January 1895.
