The four plays collected here—The Master Builder, Rosmersholm, Little Eyolf, and John Gabriel Borkman—were written late in Ibsen’s career and reflect his then growing interests in internal conflicts and the dangers of self-deception. In the words of Una Ellis-Fermor, The Master Builder and Other Plays demonstrate Ibsen's ‘noblest thought and finest dramatic art’.
