This book examines the ritualistic and mythological features
derived from various religious traditions depicted in ten Ibsen
plays. The worshipping of the Great Mother, the Mysteries of
Eleusis, the Hebrew Passover Meal and Yom Kippur, alongside with
the most sacred feasts of Christianity, are identified in Ibsen's
texts in a way not discovered before. The outcome is a fascinating
voyage through a landscape of ritualistic visions. Throughout the
book the author illustrates how the plays contribute to the revival
of the sacred in modernist theatre. Each chapter of the book
contains a synopsis of the play interpreted, followed by a detailed
analysis, which focuses on religious concepts and mythological
elements incorporated in Ibsen's texts. The following plays are
interpreted: Emperor and Galilean, Brand, Peer Gynt, A Doll's
House, The Wild Duck, Rosmersholm, The Lady from the Sea, Hedda
Gabler, The Master Builder, When We Dead Awaken.
