Eugene O'Neill : a playwright's theatre
"After a description of O'Neill's working conditions and the various audiences he addresses, this study examines the various formal aspects of the plays: titles, settings in time and place, names and addresses, language, and connections and allusions to other works. In a concluding part the structures of Bound East for Cardiff, Long Day's Journey Into Night, and A Touch of the Poet are examined."--Jacket
