Early Plays — Catiline, the Warrior's Barrow, Olaf Liljekrans

Early Plays is a collection of three dramatic works by Henrik Ibsen, published in the mid-19th century. This volume includes 'Catiline,' Ibsen's first play, which explores the inner turmoil of Lucius Catiline, a Roman politician grappling with ambition and moral conflict. The collection highlights Ibsen's development as a playwright and his focus on individualism and societal issues, marking his significant contribution to modern realistic drama. Ibsen, often called the 'father of modern drama,' began to infuse his personal beliefs into his works, paving the way for future explorations of complex human motivations.
