—Eugene O'Neill was an American playwright who won the 1936 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the power, honesty and deep-felt emotions of his dramatic works, which embody an original concept of tragedy." More than any other dramatist, O'Neill introduced American drama to the dramatic realism pioneered by Russian playwright Anton Chekhov, Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, and Swedish playwright August Strindberg, and was the first to use true American vernacular in his speeches.

His plays involve characters who inhabit the fringes of society, engaging in depraved behavior, where they struggle to maintain their hopes and aspirations but ultimately slide into disillusionment and despair.

Includes:
Strange Interlude (1928)
Mourning Becomes Electra (1931)
A Moon for the Misbegotten (1947)
A Touch of the Poet (1958)

This limited edition of Eugene O'Neill Four Plays is published exclusively for subscribers to The Franklin Library collection The 100 Greatest Books of All Time

The Franklin Library was a division of The Franklin Mint that produced fine collector edition books over three decades ending in the year 2000. For this reason all Franklin Library editions are now considered “out of print” and are no longer available for sale from the Franklin Mint.

->>The Franklin Library produced books in three different binding styles: full genuine leather, imitation leather, and quarter bound genuine leather. While the first or full leather bound editions were produced through out the Franklin Library’s full life span the other two styles (imitation and quarter bound) were only produced through the 1970’s and 80’s. Below are some of the characteristics found in all Franklin Library editions along with more detailed information about the different binding styles.

All Editions:
• High quality paper.
• Pages that are sewn not glued into the binding.
• Gold gilded page edges on all three sides.
