An Enemy of the People: En Folkefiende

Ibsen's "An Enemy of the People" has too long been regarded as a dark political drama. In Ibsen's letters and journals, however,he refers to the play as a comedy. And it is a comedy relevant to our times. Ibsen deftly skewers politicians, muddle-headed idealists, and the indifferent masses who allow their environment, their society, and their principles to be polluted. This volume includes selected Ibsen letters and the author's critical commentary.
