EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY # 552 The Plays are: Ghost 1881; The Warriors at Helgeland 1857; An Enemy of the People 1882. Translated by R. Farquharson Sharp. Introduction revised for the 1941 edition. Introduction by R. Farquharson Sharp. "Ghosts, 'a domestic drama,' is memorable for the dominating Mrs. Alving and for its daring theme of 'softening of the brain as a result of disease inherited from a licentious father.' An Enemy of the People followed immediately on Ghosts, and arose out of the press reception of Ghosts, the opponents of which are here satirized. The Warriors of Helgeland, an early play inspired by the Volsung Saga, presents in Ibsen's words, 'not mythical personages, but Scandanavian life in olden times.'" RG4 Very good green cloth. Gilt titles, blindstamped. Slight edge wear, faded spine, previous owner gold decorative bookplate and name inside. (1941), (1911), 12mo, xii, [2], 247pp. [1] Temple Press 4 page Rhys essay. 8 page advertising catalogue listing 961 volumes bound in. 3/2//N Seymour
