The Theatre of Eugene O Neill offers a new comprehensive
overview of O Neill s career and plays in the context of
the American theatre. Organized thematically, it considers
his Modernist intervention in the theatre, offers readers
detailed analysis of the plays, and assesses the recent
resurgence in his reputation and new approaches to staging
his work. It includes a study of all his major plays—
The Emperor Jones, The Hairy Ape, The Iceman Cometh, Long Day s
Journey Into Night, A Moon for the Misbegotten and Desire Under the
E/ms—besides numerous other full-length and one-act dramas.
Eugene O Neill is generally credited with inventing modern American
drama, in a time of cultural ferment and lively artistic and intellectual
change. Yet O Neill s theatrical instincts were always shaped by American
stage traditions that were inextricable from his sense of himself and his
own national culture. This study shows that his theatrical modernism
represents not so much a break from these traditions as a reinvention
of their scope and significance in the context of international stage
modernism, offering an image of national culture and character that
opens new possibilities for the stage while remaining rooted in its past.
