The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
Eugene O'Neill revolutionized the American theatre, and the development of his genius runs parallel to the history of the Provincetown Playhouse. The little theatre became a showcase for his plays and was in turn sustained by his success.
A uniquely American talent, he received the Pulitzer Prize four times, achieved international renown and a Nobel Prize, yet his life was as turbulent and controversial as the great plays he left behind.
In her swift-paced biography, Mrs. Coolidge not only presents the great playwright to a new generation of readers, students, and theatre lovers but gives a dynamic account of the start of serious theatre in this country.
The result is a tense, powerful record of the life of America's greatest dramatist and of the theatrical era on which he left his indelible mark.
