This book--published on the centenary of Eugene O'Neill's birth--contains the only comprehensive collection of his letters. Providing a representative selection of O'Neill's voluminous correspondence written over a fiftyyear period to intimate friends and family as well as to literary and theatrical personalities, the distinguished O'Neill scholars Travis Bogard and Jackson R. Bryer here offer through O'Neill's letters new and revealing insights into the highly private life and thoughts of America's greatest playwright.
