Eugene O'Neill, one of America's first and leading tragic dramatists, is best known for his plays ""The Iceman Cometh"", ""Desire Under the Elms"", and ""Long Day's Journey into Night"". O'Neill's art for anguish won him four Pulitzer Prizes and the Nobel Prize in Literature, and a place as one of the most important writers in American history. Enhanced by a detailed chronology and bibliography, this newly updated volume in the ""Bloom's Modern Critical Views"" series is an in-depth exploration into the life and works of a playwright whose searing dramas continue to be a powerful presence on the American stage.
