Eugene Gladstone O'Neill (1888-1953) was an American playwright and Nobel laureate in Literature. His poetically titled plays were among the first to introduce into American drama techniques of realism earlier associated with Russian Anton Chekhov, Norwegian Henrik Ibsen, and Swedish August Strindberg. This volume contains three early 20th century plays, Beyond the Horizon, The Straw, and the ten-page, one-act Before Breakfast.

Two plays by the Nobel Prize-winning writer. "Anna Christie", first staged in 1921, is a sympathetic portrayal of a prostitute, and won a Pulitzer Prize for the author. "The Emperor Jones" is an expressionistic account of a black dictator's flight from his oppressed subjects, first staged in 1920.

Into a waterfront bar, full of life's failures, subsisting solely on their dreams, comes Hickey with his urge to make them face the truth. This play, first staged in 1946, is written by the author of "Anna Christie" and "Strange Interlude", who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1936.

A three-part reworking of themes from Greek tragedy, set in New England just after the Civil War. General Ezra Mannon (Agamemnon), is poisoned by his unfaithful wife Christine (Clytemnestra) and then avenged by his son Orin (Orestes) and daughter Lavinia (Electra).

Written around 1940, but not staged until 1956, this autobiographical work by the Nobel Prize-winning playwright recreates his own family experience, in an attempt to understand himself and those to whom he was tied by fate and love. This is the complete text, with a critical introduction.
