Since its publication in 1890, Ibsen's Hedda Gabler, with its exploration of topics such as love, beauty, nihilism, modernity, has been a recurring point of fascination for readers, theater audiences, and artists alike. Through ten newly commissioned chapters, written by leading voices in the fields of drama studies, European philosophy, Scandinavian studies, and comparative literature, this volume brings out the philosophical resonances of HeddaGabler in particular and Ibsen's drama more broadly.
