A Global Doll's House: A Digital Humanities Approach explores a very
simple question: 'What accounts for the global success of A Doll's House
by Henrik Ibsen?' Nora rivals Antigone, Carmen, Medea and Juliet as the
most performed, discussed and debated female character on the
international stage; and with over 2,500 global productions, A Doll's
House is one of the most performed plays in the world. This new book
offers an original methodological approach to the play, interrogating
the entire global production history of the play using tools from the
digital humanities. These tools build on past Ibsen scholarship to
produce fascinating new knowledge about the dynamic forces that shape
world drama.
