4.0 out of 5 stars
Perfect for any student,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hedda Gabler (Methuen Student Editions) (Paperback)
As a student myself, I rate this edition of Ibsen's, "Hedda Gabler" very highly due to its great layout and invaluable commentary. The play itself is gripping, written in a comic style, although essentially a tragedy. For me, the play really came to life after reading the accompanying commentary. Details about all the characters' backgrounds and Ibsen's background help really put the play into context. I truly recommend this edition to any student who might wish to study the play. I also highly recommend the play in general, as Ibsen's message is powerful in realising the social constraints people were faced with in the late 1800's (does this message still ring true today??).

But people don't do that sort of thing...!,
This review is from: Hedda Gabler (Methuen Student Editions) (Paperback)
The accompanying notes are great for students studying Ibsen. It's not about "what" the characters are saying, as much as what they are "thinking" while they're saying it!. I loved reading this play - couldn't put it down!

This review is from: Hedda Gabler (Drama Classics) (Paperback)
I love this book even though I haven't finished reading it but I was told about this play and Amazon came to my rescue! The price was too good to miss and plus the book is very handy to put into your handbag.
