Putnam By Women Possessed: A Life of Eugene O'Neill

Eugene O'Neill is the acknowledged father of modern American theatre, the man who paved the way for the likes of Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams, Edward Albee and a host of others. By Women Possessed is the last volume in an epic biography of O'Neill, following him through his great successes, the failures he was able to shrug off and the long eclipse, a twelve-year period in which, despite the Nobel, nothing he wrote was produced. A fascinating and necessary work from acclaimed authors and critics Arthur and Barbara Gelb.
