Reviews"For students and general readers, Bloom offers a companion to the works of Eugene O'Neill, with chapters on his life and literary heritage (covering influences and genres) and the plays most commonly taught in high school and college courses: Anna Christie, The Emperor Jones, The Hairy Ape, Desire Under the Elms, Ah, Wilderness!, The Iceman Cometh, Long Day's Journey Into Night, and A Moon for the Misbegotten . Each is examined in a systematic way so that readers have a better understanding of the work and can apply critical thinking skills when considering it. Sections focus on plot and character development, major themes, literary devices and style, narrative point of view, historical setting, and alternative critical perspectives, such as reader-response analysis, Freudian literary criticism, feminist analysis, and deconstructionism." -- Reference & Research Book News, "For students and general readers, Bloom offers a companion to the works of Eugene O'Neill, with chapters on his life and literary heritage (covering influences and genres) and the plays most commonly taught in high school and college courses: Anna Christie, The Emperor Jones, The Hairy Ape, Desire Under the Elms, Ah, Wilderness!, The Iceman Cometh, Long Day's Journey Into Night, and A Moon for the Misbegotten .

SynopsisEugene O'Neill is the only American dramatist ever to have received the Nobel Prize for Literature. He wrote over 50 plays; a number are virtually unknown by the general public; several are considered classics of the American stage; all of them demonstrate, in one way or another, how O'Neill challenged the conventional boundaries of the drama of his time and thereby paved the way for modern American theatre. This volume will provide guides to eight of O'Neill's plays that are most often studied in schools and colleges: The Hairy Ape, Anna Christie , The Emperor Jones, Desire Under the Elms, Ah, Wilderness!, The Iceman Cometh, Long Day's Journey Into Night , and A Moon for the Misbegotten . More than almost any other author in any fictional genre, O'Neill's works are highly autobiographical. The love/hate relationships he had with the members of his own family resonate throughout his dramatic works. The son of an alcoholic and a morphine addict, he struggled with chemical dependency throughout his life, but determined to be an artist or nothing, he eventually gave up drinking and fulfilled his artistic ambitions, transforming the traumatic experiences of his life into compelling drama. O'Neill's drama provides insights into the complexities of human behavior and raises questions about the forces, both external and internal, that shape human lives., Eugene O'Neill is the only American dramatist ever to have received the Nobel Prize for Literature.
