The breadth and variety of these chapters... make it a worthwhile addition to the library of any scholar of modern theatre and its intersections with philosophy. -- Benjamin Bigelow, University of Minnesota, Modern Language Review A wide-ranging volume that presents a series of diverse philosophical openings--from Plato, to Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Adorno, Wittgenstein, and Butler--onto what is one of the most engaging, challenging, and disorienting plays in the modern canon. All students of Ibsen's great play will find their reading enlightened, deepened, and troubled by these thoughtful and thought-provoking essays. --Jay Bernstein, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, The New School Hedda Gabbler is a fascinating character and a powerful embodiment of modernity; and in collecting an impressive set of essays that tackle a wide range of philosophical questions provoked and addressed by this play, Kristin Gjesdal has performed a great service both for lovers of Ibsen and for anyone concerned with modernism and feminism. --Jonathan Culler, Cornell University
