A Doll's House is a masterpiece I read this book not knowing what to expect (my partner is studying Enlish Lit' with the Open University and it is on her reading list).

My partner paid £0.99 for this book, I would say this price does the book an injustice. A classic to rival 'The Medea'

An interesting and insightful text which I enjoyed studying As a part of my A level studies I have concentrated on this text. I have found it most interesting and insightful if a little hard to comprehend at first.

I have yet to find a good sudy guide to this text so it is perhaps worth investing in a more facilitative original text if your intention is for study.
