This is a volume of specially commissioned essays containing studies of Eugene ONeills life; his intellectual and creative forebears; and his relation to the theatrical world of his creative period; 1916ndash;42. Also included are descriptions of the ONeill canon and its production history on stage and screen; and a series of essays on special topics related to the playwright; such as his treatment of women in the plays; his portrayals of Irish and African Americans; and his attempts to deal in dramatic terms with his parental family culminating in his greatest play; Long Days Journey Into Night. One of the essays speaks for those who are critical of ONeills work; and the volume concludes with an essay on ONeill criticism containing a select bibliography of full-length studies of the playwrights work.
