Three times winner of the Pulitzer award and in 1936 the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Eugene O'Neill stands pre-eminent among the world's dramatists. The originality, strength and integrity of his plays have helped bring a new dignity to the American theatre. What he has done for the theatre of the reader's imagination is equally noteworthy, for his dramas have been treasured by an immense public. The three plays in this volume are representative of the work done by O'Neill at the crest of his creative powers.
