Four Plays
£2.00
The plays of Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) are critically acclaimed throughout the world. The father of modern drama, Ibsen broke with theatrical conventions & created a more realistic form of drama that used the stage as a forum for debating social problems, notably the rights of the individual, & the damaging effects of orthodoxy.

This collection of four plays contains, A Doll’s House (1879) & Hedda Gabler (1890), his most striking depictions of the struggle by individuals
- especially women
- to realize their full potential; it also presents Peer Gynt (1867), an early verse tour-de-force, not originally intended for the stage, on the nature of the self, & The Master Builder (1892), a play that explores the clash between the old & the new in richly metaphorical language.

This collection returns to the acclaimed translations of William Archer (1856-1924), who through these renditions played a major role in promoting Ibsen’s reputation outside Norway. Archer was also a critic, who with actress Elizabeth Robbins & dramatist George Bernard Shaw was central in the modernisation of English theatre.

This paperback book has 390 pages & measures: 19.7 x 12.6 x 2cm

Four Meals For Fourpence By Grace Foakes

`I was born in a tenement flat in the East End of London in the year in which Queen Victoria died.' Four Meals for Fourpence is Grace Foakes's memories of her girlhood in Wapping in the early 1900s. With a child's clear eye, she describes the sights, sounds and smells of the old East End of London: shopping in the market, men waiting for work at the dock gates, the rituals of washday. She also describes the fear - of illness, of unemployment, of the workhouse - that hung over her family and thousands like them, and her determination that her own children would never know the kind of poverty she had experienced.
