Since its publication in 1890, Ibsen's Hedda Gabler has been a
recurring point of fascination for readers, theater audiences, and
artists alike. Newly married, yet utterly bored, the character of
Hedda Gabler evokes reflection on beauty, love, passion, death,
nihilism, identity, and a host of other topics of an existential
nature. It is no surprise that Ibsen's work has gained the
attention of philosophically-minded readers from Nietzsche, Lou
Andreas-Salome, and Freud, to Adorno, Cavell, and beyond. Once
staged at avant-garde theaters in Paris, London, and Berlin, Ibsen
is now a global phenomenon. The enigmatic character of Hedda Gabler
remains intriguing to ever-new generations of actors, audiences,
and readers. Hedda Gabler occupies a privileged place in the
history of European drama and as a work of literature, and, as this
volume demonstrates, invites profound and worthwhile philosophical
questions. Through ten newly commissioned chapters, written by
leading voices in the fields of drama studies, European philosophy,
Scandinavian studies, and comparative literature, this volume
brings out the philosophical resonances of Hedda Gabler in
particular and Ibsen's drama more broadly.
