Eugene O'Neill was one of the great American playwrights of the
twentieth century. Spanning the years 1910-1930, the 14 essays in
this volume address the milieu he knew best--his friends in
bohemian Greenwich Village, Provincetown, on waterfronts around the
globe, and in the other beloved communities that comprised his
early circle. At a time when O'Neill's creative powers were in
their infancy, these influences formed the backdrop of his creative
development and, consequently, demand more intensive study than
they have received to date. This collection also highlights the
larger modernist period and its impact on the First World War, the
Little Theater Movement, the Abbey Players of Dublin, philosophical
anarchism, and other contemporary upheavals that permeate his
drama. Interspersed with rare period photos and illustrations, this
volume contextualizes O'Neill's plays in the tumult of his
historical and cultural moment, offering scholars a fresh approach
to his life and art.
