First edition of this collection of the playwright’s early plays, written as a young man. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in a very good dust jacket.

This volume adds richly to the American playwright's store-house of drama, particularly in the short one-act form, so popular in the era's progressive small theater movement. An introduction by Rockefeller grant recipient Lawrence Gellert brings the young O'Neill and his time into sharp focus with an exhaustive historical survey of the social scene of which the young playwright sought to make himself an integral part.
