Description: Eugene O'Neill by Robert M. Dowling Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A major new biography of Eugene ONeill, the Nobel Prize–winning dramatist who revolutionized American theater"Restores balance to the slightly skewed twenty-first century reputation of Americas greatest playwright. . . . [An] important story, perceptively recounted."—Wendy Smith, Washington PostFinalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize This extraordinary new biography fully captures the intimacies of Eugene ONeills tumultuous life and the profound impact of his work on American drama. Robert M. Dowling innovatively recounts ONeills life in four acts, thus highlighting how the stories he told for the stage interweave with his actual life stories. Each episode also uncovers how ONeills work was utterly intertwined with, and galvanized by, the culture and history of his time. Much is new in this extensively researched book: connections between ONeills plays and his political and philosophical worldview; insights into his Irish upbringing and lifelong torment over losing faith in God; his vital role in African American cultural history; unpublished photographs, including a unique offstage picture of him with his lover Louise Bryant; new evidence of ONeills desire to become a novelist and what this reveals about his unique dramatic voice; and a startling revelation about the release of Long Days Journey Into Night in defiance of his explicit instructions. This biography is also the first to discuss ONeills lost play Exorcism (a single copy of which was only recently recovered), a dramatization of his own suicide attempt. Written with lively informality yet a scholars strict accuracy, Eugene ONeill: A Life in Four Acts is a biography that Americas foremost playwright richly deserves. Author Biography Robert M. Dowling is professor of English at Central Connecticut State University. He has published extensively on ONeill and serves on the board of directors of the Eugene ONeill Society.
