DJ blurb on front flap of Six Great American Plays (1956):
|
Within the last three decades American drama has changed and overcome European domination in the theatre. The emergence of our internationally famous playwrights has won the world's attention and respect. This volume, representative of the finest work of America's foremost dramatists, brings together, for the excitement and delight of the reader, a half dozen plays in a variety of moods and forms: Eugene O'Neill's imaginative The Emperor Jones, Maxwell Anderson's tense Winterset, Kaufmann and Hart's satirical The Man Who Came to Dinner, Lillian Hellman's bitterly penetrating The Little Foxes, Tennessee Williams' sensitive The Glass Menagerie, and Heggen and Logan's robust comedy Mister Roberts. |
