Reviews
This will be an essential book for all who seek to know the political dimensions of O'Neill's work and view of the world. - Stephen A. Black, author of Eugene O'Neill: Beyond Mourning and Tragedy Sixty years ago Eric Bentley wrote a seminal book on 'the playwright as thinker.' John Patrick Diggins discusses Eugene O'Neill in precisely this light - as a dramatist who reflected deeply on American history in terms of the most serious ethical and political concerns. O'Neill is usually seen today as a haunted figure best remembered for his late, great autobiographical plays, but Diggins reminds us of other profound dimensions of his work, his lifelong obsession with national as well as personal origins. - Morris Dickstein, author of Gates of Eden and A Mirror in the Roadway
