Henrik Ibsen: The Divided Counsciousness

By Charles R. Lyons

This totally new and brilliant approach to the Ibsen canon presents the plays as a single, cohesive exploration of the nature of consciousness. In addition, Lyons's close reading of the seven plays reveals Ibsen's major metaphors and demonstrates that the realistic form of nineteenth-century drama could encompass symbolism and work toward departures from realism.
