Eugene O’Neill: America’s First Great Playwright
Long Day’s Journey into Books
This special issue begins with “Bibliographical Forays into the Life and Works of Eugene O’Neill.” According to O’Neill, who won four Pulitzer Prizes and the Nobel Prize for Literature, “The theatre should reveal to us who we are.”
A Checklist of Eugene O’Neill’s First Editions
O’Neill’s bibliography is complex, since many of his early plays were published in compilations. While some of the early first edition dust wrappers are nearly impossible to find, first editions of most of his greatest works are findable in collector’s condition.
