Opis

Arguing that the 1964 edition of Eugene O'Neill's unfinished play More Stately Mansions, prepared after the playwright's death, was missing a substantial amount of material that O'Neill intended for inclusion, Martha Bower here presents an entirely new edition of the play with this material--dialogue, character description, an entire scene, the epilogue, and large parts of other scenes--restored. Published to coincide with the centennial of O'Neill's birth, it will stand as an important contribution to O'Neill scholarship.

Recenzje

'Of all the O'Neill publications that appeared in the year of the centenary, this new version of More Stately Mansions certainly qualifies as one of the major and most intriguing ones. Martha Bower is to be congratulated on her efforts in bringing to print the entirety of a play that had been unjustly abridged in its previous edition. Martha Bower deserves all our praise in unearthing such an important manuscript and offering it to our reading contemplation.' Marc Maufort, Justificatif, RBPH 70 (1992) No3
