The majority of these plays are heavily influenced by German expressionism--Freud, Nietzsche, Strindberg, and the radical leftist politics in which O'Neill was involved during his youth. Also included in this unique collection is the little-known and highly autobiographical play \u003ci\u003eThe Straw\u003c\/i\u003e, which draws on O'Neill's confinement in the Gaylord Farm Sanatorium.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEugene O'Neill \u003c\/b\u003e(1888-1953) is one of the most significant forces in the history of American theater. With no uniquely American tradition to guide him, O'Neill introduced various dramatic techniques, which subsequently became staples of the U.S. theater. By 1914 he had written twelve one-act and two long plays. Of this early work, only \u003ci\u003eThirst and Other One-Act plays\u003c\/i\u003e (1914) was originally published. From this point on, O'Neill's work falls roughly into three phases: the early plays, written from 1914 to 1921 (\u003ci\u003eThe Long Voyage Home\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Moon of the Caribbees\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBeyond the Horizon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAnna Christie\u003c\/i\u003e); a variety of full-length plays for Broadway (\u003ci\u003eDesire Under the Elms\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eGreat God Brown\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eAh, Wilderness!\u003c\/i\u003e); and the last, great plays, written between 1938 and his death (\u003ci\u003eThe Iceman Cometh\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLong Day's Journey Into Night\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Moon for the Misbegotten\u003c\/i\u003e). Eugene O'Neill is a four-time Pulitzer Prize winner, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1936.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 448\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 7.7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47219979714809,"sku":"9780141186702","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/e8fOMo-iWK9780141186702.webp?v=1768170690","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/early-plays-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
