He was born on 20 March 1828 in Skien, Norway, and died on 23 May 1906 in Kristiania (now Oslo). Ibsen is recognised as a founder of modernism in theatre and is often described as the father of realism. His major works include *Brand* (1866), *Peer Gynt* (1867), *A Doll's House* (1879), *Ghosts* (1881), *An Enemy of the People* (1882), *The Wild Duck* (1884) and *Hedda Gabler* (1890). He wrote most of his best-known plays while living abroad in Italy and Germany from 1864 onwards, returning to Norway in 1891. Several of his later dramas examined social and moral issues and were considered controversial at the time. He remains one of the most frequently performed dramatists after Shakespeare. *Sources: britannica.com, en.wikipedia.org.* ## On Fi1m (1) - *A Doll's House* (1992), Fi1m 78, Writer — [page](https://film.one/film/a-dolls-house.md) ## Complete filmography (145) Every credit, newest first.
