Henrik Ibsen
- Born in Skein, Norway
- Lived his early life in poverty, stung by social rejection.
- Hired as a playwright by the National Theater in Bergen.
- Left Norway in 1862, starting a 27-year self-imposed exile. During this time he wrote his finest plays.
- "A literary pioneer who created the modern, realistic prose drama.”
- The bold, social commentary in his plays often earned him criticism.
- “A Doll’s House (1879) aroused controversy because it portrayed a woman whose actions were not considered acceptable at the time.”
- Ibsen was a revolutionary playwright who provided detailed stage directions that precisely described sets, lighting, props and how actors should interpret their lines.
