유령 (Ghosts) 영어로 읽는 명작 시리즈 476
Ghosts (original title: Gengangere) is a play by the Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. It was written in 1881 and first staged in 1882 in Chicago, Illinois, in a production by a Danish company on tour.[1] Like many of Ibsen's plays, Ghosts is a scathing commentary on 19th-century morality. Because of its subject matter, which includes religion, venereal disease, incest and euthanasia,[2] it immediately generated strong controversy and negative criticism. Since then the play has fared better, and is considered a “great play”[3] that historically holds a position of “immense importance”.
