Ibsen
Any edition of Ibsen containing the Wild Duck.
Ibsen is still the most formidable of obstinate individualists. Absolute self-reliance is the note he constantly strikes. He is obsessed by the psychology of moral problems; but for him there are no universal ethical laws ---" the golden rule is that there is no golden rule "- thus while in the Pillars of Society he advocates candid confession and honest " revelation of the truth of things; in the "Wild Duck" he attacks the pig-headed meddler, who comes dunning us with claims of the Ideal." Ultimately, though absorbed in "matters of conscience," it is as an artist rather than as a philosopher that he visualizes the world.
