`A Dolls House` by Ibsen

A Doll 's House

Considered to be a classical play , Henrick Ibsen wrote A Doll 's House in the year 1879 while he was still at Rome and Amalfi . It was at that time when European revolution period was born . Ibsen 's being successful as a classical writer was very significant for the Norweigans and their language . After four centuries of being released from Danish captivity in the year 1814 , the Norweigans were still on the point of slowly getting up from the long years of captivation .
