Long Day's Journey into Night- Eugene O'Neill

Produced after the death of Eugene O'Neill, Long Day's Journey into Night is generally considered the author's masterpiece and a seminal drama of the 20th century. The play explores the contradictory nature of family and the deep, yet tenuous, bonds uniting the Tyrones. O'Neill added autobiographical resonance to his portrait of four flawed dreamers struggling to accept the limitations and vulnerabilities with which they have been burdened. This new edition in the Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations series offers a selection of full-length critical essays that explore the restrictive, but essential, familial bonds that mark and define the characters' lives. Complete with an introductory essay by literary scholar Harold Bloom, this study guide also features a chronology, a bibliography, an index, and notes about the contributors.
