TP + [i] = Dedication page + [iii] = Inhalt + [1]-238 + 1 leaf with printer's information on the verso, Octavo. First Edition. An Insightful Analysis of the Socially Oppressed Women in Ibsen's Plays In Henrik Ibsens Frauen-Gestalten, Lou Andreas-Salomé laid the foundation for both her career as an author and also as an interpreter of literary modernity. In this book, she explores the role of women as they were portrayed in Ibsen's plays, comparing them to real role of women in society. The book established Salomé as a serious writer of non-fiction and successfully launching her philosophically psychological career.Motivated by her own marital situation, Ibsen's theme of "self-realization in marriage" was what most interested Lou in this book. Similar to the playwright's characters, Salomé saw marriage as a restraint on women, a rather unnecessary and limiting social construct that served little purpose and only held women back from achieving their goals. She emphatically describes and examines the liberation strategies of the literary figures and translates that to experiences of her own life while appealing for women to make advances in their own lives. In her analysis of these female characters, Salomé focused exclusively on the psyche of fictional women. She recognized and praised Ibsen's development from A Doll's House and Ghosts, where women glorify love and revere their male partners, to The Wild Duck, Rosmersholm, The Lady from the Sea and Hedda Gabler, where women no longer surrender to men as objects of love, but rather focus on their own emotional lives and their own love.Salomé's ability to analyze and offer a solution to the issues that these fictional female figures face in marriage exhibits the depth of her insight and makes a substantial contribution to the world of literary analysis while simultaneously delivering an indispensable contribution to the late 19th-century study of women in society. Original publisher's grey cloth with embossed gilt lettering and black decorations on the front cover and spine.
