Eugene O`Neill and His Eleven-Play Cycle: "A Tale of Possessors Self-Dispossessed" (Henry McBride Series in Modernism and Mo)

From 1935 to 1939 Eugene O`Neill devoted nearly all of his creative energy to a vast cycle of plays tracing several generations of an American family. Based on O`Neill`s extensive unpublished notes, drafts, plot summaries and other materials, this book tells for the first time the complicated story of the cycle project--what the playwright intended to do, how he went about it, and why in the end he failed.Henry McBride Series in Modernism and Modernity.
