Which Norwegian playwright wrote the 1879 drama A Doll’s House?

Henrik Ibsen wrote the Norwegian playwright’s 1879 drama A Doll’s House.

Ibsen was born in Skien, Norway, in 1828 and became one of the central figures of modern European drama. A Doll’s House follows Nora Helmer, whose apparently comfortable marriage is challenged by secrets, social expectations, and her growing demand for independence.

The play’s ending caused controversy because Nora leaves her husband and children to discover her own identity. Its themes made Ibsen a major influence on realist theatre and later debates about gender and marriage. A Doll’s House is sometimes called A Doll House in English, but the standard title is A Doll’s House.
