“Ibsen’s influence on the whole course of modern drama may be indicated by the inclusion of his plays in the repertoire of every avant-garde theatre of his day… and although on every occasion that they were produced audience reaction was largely a mixture of protest and bewilderment, Ibsen’s revolutionary technique has now become firmly established” (PMM 375). Upon delivering his manuscript to his Copenhagen publisher Ibsen confessed, “It is a good thing to be done with it. The constant intercourse with the fictitious personages was beginning to make me quite nervous.”
