Quintessence of Ibsenism

George Bernard Shaw

Published in 1891, 'Quintessence of Ibsenism' by George Bernard Shaw is a critical analysis of the social philosophies in the works of Henrik Ibsen. Shaw examines Ibsen's challenge to societal ideals, which he and Ibsen deem as significant evils. The book summarizes sixteen of Ibsen's plays while articulating Shaw's own radical feminist views, revealing insights that remain relevant to contemporary discussions on societal hypocrisy. This work showcases the intellectual interplay between two influential playwrights and their critiques of societal norms.
