* Chronology of the play and Ibsen's life and work
* Discussion of the social, political, cultural and economic context in which the play was originally conceived and created
* Overview of the creation processes followed and performance history of the play, including recent performances such as a 2012 short film adaptation and a stage adaptation set in colonial Calcutta.

Ibsen's 1879 play shocked its first audiences with its radical insights into the social roles of husband and wife. His portrayal of the caged 'songbird' in his flawed heroine Nora remains one of the most striking dramatic depictions of the late 19th century woman.
The Methuen Drama Student Edition is prescribed on the AQA English Literature syllabus on the "Elements of political and social protest writing" module.
