Show notes

"Quintessence of Ibsenism" by George Bernard Shaw offers a penetrating analysis of the social philosophies underpinning Henrik Ibsen's work, particularly his challenge to the conventional ideals that both writers deem as the greatest evils of society. Shaw summarizes and critiques sixteen of Ibsen's plays, revealing his own radical feminist perspectives that feel remarkably ahead of their time. This exploration not only illuminates the complexities of Ibsen's characters and themes but also highlights the enduring hypocrisies that continue to affect society today.
