William Archer's classic translations of Henrik Ibsen's Rosmersholm and The Lady from the Sea are essential reading for anyone interested in the history of European drama. With insightful notes and commentary, Archer provides a valuable context for understanding Ibsen's groundbreaking plays, which explore themes of morality, identity, and social change. Rosmersholm, which examines the psychological torment of a grieving widower in a repressive society, and The Lady from the Sea, which examines the conflict between personal desire and social obligation, are two of Ibsen's most enduring works, brought to life in Archer's elegant and lucid translations.
