About this listen

 In Quintessence of Ibsenism, George Bernard Shaw, a playwright with his own critiques, delves deep into the social philosophies of Henrik Ibsen. He challenges the conventional ideals that both writers deem as the greatest evils plaguing humanity. Shaw meticulously analyzes sixteen of Ibsens plays, revealing insights that resonate with his own revolutionary principles. Throughout the text, his radical feminist views shine through, often reflecting perspectives that feel decades ahead of their time. This engaging exploration not only highlights the brilliance of two transformative authors but also exposes the enduring hypocrisies still affecting society today. With an intriguing blend of Shaw and Ibsens voices, this work is a thought-provoking journey into the heart of social critique. - Summary by ExpatriateCopyright Early Modern Art Drama & Plays Literary History & Criticism
