Eugene O'Neill, one of America's most gifted and prolific
playwrights, wrote more than 60 plays between 1914 and 1941, a
level of creativity paralleled in modern times only by Bernard
Shaw. The progress of his art from crude, one-act plays to the
monumental tragedies of his later years is a story as dramatic and
compelling as that of his tortured personal history. Combining the
two, Professor Bogard traces the contours of O'Neill's life in his
art. By discussing, in their approximate order of composition, the
published and unpublished works, Bogard illuminates not only the
plays, but also the literary, aesthetic, and historical influences
on the playwright's development. For the revised edition of this
insightful, meticulously written work, the author has added new and
unpublished material on A Tale of Possessors, Self-dispossessed, a
cycle of nine plays written by O'Neill during the 1930s and '40s,
only one of which he readied for the stage. Among the plays in this
cycle that have been posthumously produced are More Stately
Mansions (New York, 1967) and A Touch of the Poet (New York, 1958).
