An Enemy of the People (original Norwegian title: En folkefiende) is an 1882 play by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. Ibsen wrote it in response to the public outcry against his play Ghosts, which at that time was considered scandalous. Ghosts had challenged the hypocrisy of Victorian morality and was deemed indecent for its veiled references to syphilis.

Pillars of Society - A Play in Four Acts – Complete English Translation - by Henrik Ibsen. The Pillars of Society (or "Pillars of the Community," as the RSC has performed it; original Norwegian title: Samfundets stotter) is an 1877 play written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. Ibsen had great trouble with the writing of this play which came before the series of masterpieces which made him famous throughout the world. The ending is the most criticised feature, since Bernick is clearly guilty of attempted murder but gets off unscathed, but successfully illustrates that the rich and powerful are often selfish and corrupt. Ibsen first planned a contemporary drama at the end of 1869 but did not begin the writing until October 1875 (in Munich), completing it in the summer of 1877. It was first published on 11 October of that year in Copenhagen, with the first stagings following on 14 November at the Odense Teater and on 18 November at the Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen. The first performance in Norway was at Den Nationale Scene in Bergen on 30 November. By this date, the play had been translated into German, in which it was immediately well received. In December 1880 in London it became the first of any of Ibsen's plays to be performed in English (under the title Quicksands).

Koerlighedens Komedie was published at Christiania in 1862. The polite world—so far as such a thing existed at the time in the Northern capital—received it with an outburst of indignation now entirely easy to understand. It has indeed faults enough. The character-drawing is often crude, the action, though full of effective by-play, extremely slight, and the sensational climax has little relation to human nature as exhibited in Norway, or out of it, at that or any other time. But the sting lay in the unflattering veracity of the piece as a whole; in the merciless portrayal of the trivialities of persons, or classes, high in their own esteem; in the unexampled effrontery of bringing a clergyman upon the stage. All these have long since passed in Scandinavia, into the category of the things which people take with their Ibsen as a matter of course, and the play is welcomed with delight by every Scandinavian audience. But in 1862 the matter was serious, and Ibsen meant it to be so. For they were years of ferment—those six or seven which intervened between his return to Christiania from Bergen in 1857, and his departure for Italy in 1864. As director of the newly founded "Norwegian Theatre," Ibsen was a prominent member of the little knot of brilliant young writers who led the nationalist revolt against Danish literary tradition, then still dominant in well-to-do, and especially in official Christiania. Well-to-do and official Christiania met the revolt with contempt. Under such conditions, the specific literary battle of the Norwegian with the Dane easily developed into the eternal warfare of youthful idealism with "respectability" and convention. Ibsen had already started work upon the greatest of his Norse Histories—The Pretenders. But history was for him little more than material for the illustration of modern problems; and he turned with zest from the task of breathing his own spirit into the stubborn mould of the thirteenth century, to hold up the satiric mirror to the suburban drawing-rooms of Christiania, and to the varied phenomena current there,—and in suburban drawing-rooms elsewhere,—under the name of Love.

Ibsen, considered to be the father of modern drama, was a Norwegian playwright. He is responsible for "realistic drama". During the Victorian era Ibsen's writings were considered scandalous. John Gabriel Borkman is based on an incident in Ibsen's life. An army officer attempted suicide after being charged with embezzlement. The Borkman family fortunes have been brought low by the imprisonment of John Gabriel who used his position as a bank manager to illegally speculate with his investors' money. The setting for the play is a family in conflict over the future of the young Erhart Borkman.

Product Description: Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) was a great 19th century Norwegian playwright who was considered one of the first prominent figures of modern theatre. Ibsen wrote many famous plays but none moreso than A Doll’s House, which was controversial in its time for its criticism of 19th century marriages and morals yet remains the world’s most performed play today...read more

Henrik Ibsen's inspiration for this controversial (at the time) play was that "a woman cannot be herself in modern society," because it's "an exclusively male society, with laws made by men and with prosecutors and judges who assess feminine conduct from a masculine standpoint." That said, he saw it as a human interest tale more than a women's issues tale. The story itself was inspired by Laura Kieler, a friend of Ibsen's. Many of the things that happen between Nora and Tovald in the play are things that happened to Laura and her husband with one major exception because Laura was committed to an asylum while Nora is spared that fate in the play.

Excerpt: ... my poor unhappy wife was not fully accountable for her actions. Mortensgaard. I did make inquiries, Mr. Rosmer; but I must say I did not get exactly that impression. Rosmer. Not?-But why have you chosen this moment to enlighten me as to the existence of this old crazy letter? Mortensgaard. With the object of advising you to be extremely cautious, Mr. Rosmer. Rosmer. As to my way of life, do you mean? Mortensgaard. Yes. You must remember that for the future you will not be unassailable. Rosmer. So you persist in thinking that I have something to conceal here? Mortensgaard. I do not see any reason why a man of emancipated ideas should refrain from living his life as fully as possible. Only, as I have already said, you should be cautious in future. If rumours should get about of anything that offends people's prejudices, you may be quite certain that the whole cause of freedom of thought will suffer for it. Good-bye, Mr. Rosmer. Rosmer. Good-bye. Mortensgaard. I shall go straight to the printing-office now and have the great piece of news inserted in the "Searchlight". Rosmer. Put it all in. Mortensgaard. I will put in as much as there is any need for the public to know. (Bows, and goes out. ROSMER stands at the door, while MORTENSGAARD goes downstairs. The front door is heard shutting.) Rosmer (still standing in the doorway, calls softly). Rebecca! Reb-ahem! (Calls loudly.) Mrs. Helseth-is Miss West downstairs? Mrs. Helseth (from below). No, sir, she is not here. (The curtain at the end of the room is drawn back, disclosing REBECCA standing in the doorway.) Rebecca. John! Rosmer (turning round). What! Were you in there, in my bedroom! My dear, what were you doing there? Rebecca (going up to him). I have been listening. Rosmer. Rebecca! Could you do a thing like that? Rebecca. Indeed I could. It was so horrid the way he said that- about my morning wrapper. Rosmer. Ah, so you were in there too when Kroll-? Rebecca. Yes. I wanted to know what...
