Schweitzer Klassifikation
Henrik Johan Ibsen, born on March 20, 1828, in Skien, Norway, was a pioneering playwright and theatre director, widely regarded as the world s pre-eminent dramatist of the 19th century. Often referred to as "the father of modern drama," Ibsen revolutionized theatre by introducing realism to the stage, challenging traditional theatrical conventions of the time. His works not only explored social issues but also delved into the complexities of the human psyche. Influenced by thinkers and writers like August Strindberg, Henrik Wergeland, S ren Kierkegaard, and Georg Brandes, Ibsen s plays often questioned societal norms and examined the individual s role within society. His most famous works include A Doll s House, Hedda Gabler, and An Enemy of the People. Ibsen married Suzannah Ibsen in 1858, and they were together until his death in 1906 at the age of 78. Ibsen s legacy endures, as his plays continue to be performed and studied worldwide for their deep insight into human nature and their critique of societal and moral issues.
