Henrik Ibsen was a major 19th-century Norwegian playwright, theatre director, and poet who lived from 1828 to 1906. He is often called the godfather of modern drama and is one of the founders of Modernism in the theatre. His plays were considered scandalous in his era, when Victorian values of family life and propriety largely held sway in Europe.
