William Archer war ein schottischer Schriftsteller und Theaterkritiker, der die meiste Zeit seiner Karriere in London verbrachte. Er war ein früher Verfechter der Stücke von Henrik Ibsen und ein enger Freund und Unterstützer von Bernard Shaw. Obwohl er ursprünglich Jura studierte, entwickelte Archer eine tiefe Faszination für das Theater und etablierte sich schnell als eine einflussreiche literarische Persönlichkeit in London.
Ibsens Schauspiel »Hedda Gabler« (1890) ist ein Drama der Mentalitätsgeschichte des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts. Die zentralen Themen des Stückes – Heddas Langeweile und ihr Ästhetizismus sowie Tesmans historische Sammelleidenschaft – machen es gleichweise zu einer Anatomie des bürgerlichen Bewusstseins der Dekadenz-Epoche wie zu einer kritischen Replik auf den vorherrschenden Geist der zeitgenössischen Wissenschaft.
