Drama se odehrává na starém panství nedaleko pobřežního městečka v západním Norsku. Bývalý farář Johanes Rosmer, se chystá udělat velký životní krok a rozejít se jednou provždy s konzervativní rodovou tradicí, v níž byl vychován. Pod vlivem emancipované Rebeky Westové se pokouší změnit své společensko-politické názory a veřejně podpořit liberální síly v zápase za větší občanské svobody. Situaci však zkomplikuje odhalení důvodu sebevraždy Rosmerovy manželky Beaty, což vede k tragickému vyústění. Drama je silně symbolické, zkoumá nemožnost emancipace od hluboko zakořeněné tradice předků a střet moderních, liberálních názorů s bigotním protestantismem. Rosmersholm přináší hluboký pohled na lidskou psychologii a morální dilemata.

This volume collects some of Henrik Ibsen's most important and influential plays, translated into English by three of the top translators of their time. 'Rosmersholm' explores themes of love, guilt, and redemption in the aftermath of a tragic death. 'The Lady from the Sea' deals with a woman's struggle to find her own identity in a patriarchal society. And 'Hedda Gabler' is a powerful study of gender dynamics, as a woman of privilege struggles to assert herself in a world that seeks to suppress her. For students of drama and literature, this is an essential collection.
