Perverse Mind: Eugene O'Neill's Struggle with Closure

Portada
Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press, 1999 - 166 páginas
"To date no one has attempted to account for the disparity in quality between O'Neill's earlier and late work by means of a thorough examination of his play-endings. In "Perverse Mind" author Barbara Voglino performs this long-neglected function concerning the work of the artist considered by many to be America's foremost dramatist by studying nine plays - three from approximately each decade of O'Neill's career - in the light of contemporary closure theories."--BOOK JACKET.
