ISBN: 9780940450486 - Eugene O'neill: Complete Plays Vol. 1 1913-1920 (loa #40) (library of America Eugene O'neill Edition) (76 results)

Hardback. Condition: Good. The only American dramatist awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, Eugene O'Neill wrote with poetic expressiveness, emotional intensity, and immense dramatic power. This Library of America volume (the first in a three-volume set) contains twenty-nine plays he wrote between 1913, when he began his career, and 1920, the year he first achieved Broadway success. Many of O'Neill's early plays are one-act melodramas whose characters are caught in extreme situations.ThirstandFogdepict shipwreck survivors,The Weba young mother trapped in the New York underworld, andAbortionthe aftermath of a college student's affair with a stenographer. His first distinctive works are four one-act plays about the crew of the tramp steamerGlencairnthat render sailors' speech with masterful faithfulness.Bound East for Cardiff,In the Zone,The Long Voyage Home, andThe Moon of the Caribbeesportray these "children of the sea" as they watch over a dying man, sail though submarine-patrolled waters, take their shore leave in a London dive, and drink rum in a moonlit tropical anchorage. InBeyond the HorizonRobert Mayo begins a tragic chain of events by abandoning his dream of a life at sea, choosing instead to marry the woman his brother loves and remain on his family farm. The sea in "Anna Christie" is both "dat ole devil" to coal barge captain Chris Christopherson and a source of spiritual cleansing to his daughter Anna, an embittered prostitute. When a swaggering stoker falls in love with her, Anna becomes the apex of a three-sided struggle full of enraged pride, grim foreboding, and stubborn hope. Both of these plays won the Pulitzer Prize and helped establish O'Neill as a successful Broadway playwright. The Emperor Jonesdepicts the nightmarish journey through a West Indian forest of Brutus Jones, a former Pullman porter turned island ruler. Fleeing his rebellious subjects, Jones confronts his violent deeds and the tortured history of his race in a series of hallucinatory episodes whose expressionist quality anticipates many of O'Neill's later plays.
