Product Description
The original CliffsNotes study guides offer a look into critical elements and ideas within classic works of literature.
CliffsNotes on A Doll′s House & Hedda Gabler takes you into Henrick Ibsen′s dramatic plays, controversial theater productions that inflamed audience reactions in the nineteenth century.
