More Stately Mansions: The Unexpurgated Edition
ISBN: 9780195053647 / Angielski / Twarda / 1988 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 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.
