I'm writing a thesis regarding the tragic mode in works ranging from Aueschylus' Oresteia to Miller's Death of a Salesman, works that include O'Neil's Mourning Becomes Electra. In using this book as a reference I have been able to create a thesis that is both informed and interesting. Great book...

This is a tremendous source work, providing a sequential study of O'Neill's development as a dramatist. While not all of the plays are particularly successful, they reveal themes and settings that would provide the foundation for the later O'Neill masterworks. And there are many wonderful early dramas, such as the four S.S. Glencairn plays, his first broadway success "Beyond the Horizon," and the daring "Anna Christie," all of which tested and expanded the dramatic form in America. A wonderful collection!

This exquisite collection of Eugene O'Neill's later works is worth the beautifully bound edition from the Library of America. Including some of the most enduring examples of american playwrighting excellence and some little-known gems, this collection is a must-have for the serious theater fan, theater student and certainly theatrical producers. Since last year's Tony award-winning revival of "The Iceman Cometh" and this year's "Moon for the Misbegotten" have been such successes in New York, O'Neill's most personal plays are suddenly current again. This volume edited by Travis Bogard is the perfection addition to any collection, when coupled with the equally stunning volume of O'Neill's earlier work "Eugene O'Neill:Complete Plays 1913-1920."

I read "Long Day's Journey into Night" as a prelude to seeing the current Broadway production, starring Vanessa Redgrave and Brian Dennehy (and I am now really looking forward to seeing the stage production!) and I purchased this downloadable guide for further literary depth. It certainly provided me with that!

I would recommend this guide to students of all ages. I graduated from college 14 years ago and I still found the biographical information, plot summary, character descriptions, themes, style, historical content, critical overview and criticisms enlightening.

An excellent rendition of the life of Eugene O'Neill. I was mesmerized. Surprising that a play could hold me like it did. Hope to see it on stage some day.

I am not a poetry lover but I found this book to be delightful. It can be appreciated simply as a good read. This particular translation made it very accessible, very engaging. I was swept up by the period detail provided by the author. If you like books with dashing but jaded heroes and strong minded heroines this is for you.

This is the story of Eugene. The story is actually a good guideline of life's most valuable lessons: don't steal, don't cheat, work hard. It is a story that every parent should read and share the meaning of each lesson with their children.

This book is easy to read and fascinating to follow. Thus, it is not simply an academic text. Considering the significant influence of Christian Fundamentalists today even in American government and life, this book offers a balanced perspective and a panorama of the odd history of this surprising inter-relationship, as well an introduction to the curious way of speaking at cross purposes that has developed between these Christians and the Jews- with Israel as the very core.

Great read can't wait for the follow up!
