They represent the crowning achievements of his career. O'Neill described 'Ah, Wilderness!' as "the way I would have liked my boyhood to have been." Set in the summer of 1906, it affectionately depicts the warm, close family of 16-year-old Richard Miller & the innocence w/ which he faces the trials of first love, strong drink, & sexual temptation. John Loving, hero of 'Days Without End', is split by his lack of faith into two selves: John & his Mephistophelian double Loving, who wears John's death mask & plots his destruction. Burdened by guilt but desperately wanting to love, John struggles w/ Loving's nihilistic hatred in what O'Neill termed his "modern miracle play." In 'A Touch of the Poet', Irish tavern-keeper Con Melody is drawn by his proud past as a Byronic cavalry hero of the Napoleonic Wars toward a fatal confrontation w/ his wealthy Yankee neighbors, the Harfords. Throughout 'More Stately Mansions', the idealistic yet cunning Simon Harford, his wife, Sara Melody Harford, & his mother, Deborah, continually shift roles & alliances as they engage in an eerie psychological & sexual battle for possession of each other & their own maddeningly elusive dreams. This volume presents the never-before-published complete text of the revised typescript for this unfinished play. The derelict inhabitants of Harry Hope's saloon in 'The Iceman Cometh' find solace in their comradeship until their drifting calm is destroyed by the visiting salesman Theodore Hickey, who insists that they abandon all "pipe dreams" & face the truth about their lives. O'Neill carefully orchestrates the voices of over a dozen characters to form a chorus of overwhelming despair & surprising compassion. 'Hughie' is a one-act dialogue between a reminiscing gambler & a weary hotel night clerk about the promise & loneliness of city life. 'Long Day's Journey into Night' unsparingly dissects the pain, rage, guilt, & love that drive a wounded family apart & bind it together. In their summer home the four Tyrones (James, a proud actor haunted by poverty, his devout, morphine-addicted wife, Mary, & their sons, Jamie, a cynical drunkard, & Edmund, an aspiring poet) slowly unveil the truth about their lives until they can no longer hope either to save or to escape one another. Published and produced posthumously, it won O'Neill his 4th Pulitzer Prize. In its elegiac coda, 'A Moon for the Misbegotten', Jamie Tyrone seeks the peace that has long eluded him in the arms of sharp-tongued Josie Hogan. The volume concludes w/ "Tomorrow" (1917), O'Neill's only published short story. * SHIPPING: FREE USPS MEDIA MAIL.

With no uniquely American tradition to guide him, O'Neill introduced various dramatic techniques, which subsequently became staples of the U.S. theater. By 1914 he had written 12 one-act and 2 long plays. Of this early work, only "Thirst and Other One-act plays" (1914) was originally published. From this point on, O'Neill's work falls roughly into 3 phases: the early plays, written from 1914 to 1921 ("The Long Voyage Home", "The Moon of the Caribbees", "Beyond the Horizon", "Anna Christie"); a variety of full-length plays for Broadway ("Desire Under the Elms"; "Great God Brown"; "Ah, Wilderness!"); & the last, great plays, written between 1938 & his death ( "The Iceman Cometh", "Long Day's Journey Into Night", "A Moon for the Misbegotten"). Eugene O'Neill is a 4-time Pulitzer Prize winner, & he was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 1936. * THE LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts.
