The latest book from veteran O'Neillian Edward L. Shaughnessy, Down
the Nights and Down the Days: Eugene O'Neill's Catholic Sensibility
examines a major aspect of the playwright's vision: the influence
of his Catholic heritage upon his moral imagination. Critics, aware
of O'Neill's early renunciation of faith at the age of fifteen,
have been inclined to overlook this presence in his work.
However, Shaughnessy does uncover evidence that O'Neill retained
the impress of his Irish Catholic upbringing and acculturation.
Shaughnessy advances this analysis with examples from the O'Neill
canon, including several of the key plays (Long Day's Journey into
Night, The Iceman Cometh, Mourning Becomes Electra), as well as
some of the lesser-known works (Welded and Days Without end).
Down the Nights and Down the Days: Eugene O'Neill's Catholic
Sensibility offers a fresh and thought-provoking look at the life
and work of this nation's most internationally honored
playwright.
