Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Magda: A Play in Four Acts" by Hermann Sudermann is a play written in 1893. The drama centers on a clash between paternal authority and individual freedom when a prodigal daughter returns home after achieving operatic success but living unconventionally. Her homecoming ignites fierce debate about duty, respectability, and personal rights. The heroine's unconventional spirit and emotional intensity made this one of the most successful dramas of the late nineteenth century, captivating audiences with its theatrical conflicts and commentary on the emerging "New Woman."
