Writing
Ghosts was written during the autumn of 1881 and was published in December of the same year. As early as November 1880, when Ibsen was living in Rome, he was meditating on a new play to follow A Doll's House. When he went to Sorrento, in the summer of 1881, he was hard at work upon it. It was finished by the end of November 1881.

Famous quotes containing the word writing:

As those move easiest who have learn’d to dance.

The sound must seem an echo to the sense:”
