Описание: The Pillars of Society (Samfundets Stotter) is an 1877 play written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen.Ibsen first planned a contemporary drama at the end of 1869 but did not begin the writing until October 1875 (in Munich), completing it in the summer of 1877. It was first published on 11 October of that year in Copenhagen, with the first stagings following on 14 November at the Odense Teater and on 18 November at the Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen. The first performance in Norway was at Den Nationale Scene in Bergen on 30 November. By this date, the play had been translated into German, in which it was immediately well received. In December 1880 in London it became the first of any of Ibsens plays to be performed in English (under the title Quicksands).Pillars of Society found a readier home on the stage, not only in Ibsens own country but in others. From his retreat in Italy he had (in the years intervening between The Pretenders and this play) sent Brand and Peer Gynt to astonish and delight his fellow-countrymen and to lay the foundations of a wider fame. Pillars of Society was first produced in Copenhagen in 1877, and soon became an established favourite in the theatres of the other Scandinavian countries and of Germany. One or two isolated performances of it have been given in this country, also in America and in France. Mr. William Archer, in an interesting introduction to his version of the play, points out that the reason why, except in Scandinavia and Germany, it has nowhere taken a permanent hold upon the theatre, is easy to find; for, by the time the English, American and French public had fully awakened to the existence of Ibsen, he himself had so far outgrown the phase of his development marked by Pillars of Society, that the play already seemed commonplace and old-fashioned. However that may be, the play has great interest to the student of Ibsen from the fact of its being its authors first serious effort in the social drama, and his first experiment with methods which he subsequently perfected. It is an entertaining play, moreover, with a plot that is a model of ingenuity; and, though the irony of the drama may occasionally come a little too pat, it is at the same time undeniably effective. No doubt, too, the later Ibsen would not have allowed the guilty man to escape Nemesis to so great an extent, but would have let it swoop remorselessly upon him; but, at the time the play was written, such a thing would have irretrievably have ruined its chances of success even if, indeed, it would have suggested itself to Ibsen at that stage of his development. Nine years later, however, in Rosmersholm, remorselessness of logic and remorseless fidelity to the actual cruelties of life overshadow everything else. A Dolls
