Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night
Presents a collection of critical essays on O'Neill's play, arranged in chronological order of their original publication.
Gender and Social Capital
The volume brings together a stellar group of contributors who examine the social capital thesis by means of four different approaches: theoretical, historical, comparative, and empirical. In the end, this book will serve to answer two fundamental questions which have hitherto been neglected: What can a gendered analysis tell us about social capital? And what can social capital tell us about women and politics?
The Cambridge Companion to Eugene O'Neill
Specially commissioned essays explore the life and work of Eugene O'Neill from his earliest writings to Long Day's Journey Into Night.
Home on the Stage
As a serious drama set in an ordinary middle-class home, Ibsen's A Doll's House established a new politics of the interior that was to have a lasting impact upon twentieth-century drama. In this innovative study, Nicholas Grene traces the changing forms of the home on the stage through nine of the greatest of modern plays and playwrights. From Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard through to Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire, domestic spaces and personal crises have been employed to express wider social conditions and themes of class, gender and family. In the later twentieth century and beyond, the most radically experimental dramatists created their own challenging theatrical interiors, including Beckett in Endgame, Pinter in The Homecoming and Parks in Topdog/Underdog. Grene analyses the full significance of these versions of domestic spaces to offer fresh insights into the portrayal of the naturalistic environment in modern drama.

Eugene O'Neill and the Reinvention of Theatre Aesthetics
The plays of Eugene O'Neill testify to his continued search for new dramatic strategies. The author explores the Nobel Prize winner's attempts at creating a new Modern play. He shows how, moving away from melodrama or "the problem play," O'Neill revisited the classical frames of drama and reinvented theater aesthetics by resorting to masks, the chorus, acoustics, silence or immobility for the creation of his dramatic works.
Eugene O'Neill
Eugene O'Neill wrote his plays for a theatre in which the playwright would take a central position. He presented himself as a controlling personality both in the texts--in the form of ample stage directions--and in performances based on these texts. His plays address several audiences--reader, spectator, and production team--and scripts were often different from the published versions. This study examines O'Neill's multiple roles as a writer for many audiences. After a description of O'Neill's working conditions and the multiple audiences of the plays, this study examines the various formal aspects of the plays: titles, settings in time and place, names and addresses, language, and connections and allusions to other works. An examination of the plays follows, with particular emphasis on Bound East for Cardiff, Long Day's Journey Into Night, and A Touch of the Poet.
The O'Neills of County Cork
The first record for an O'Neill in Ballynoe/Conna area of the civil parish of Fermoy is for Timothy Neale, b. 1666 in County Tyrone, probably the son of Eoghan O'Neill. The first O'Neill of record in Ballydaniel, civil parish of Ardagh, was Philip, originally from County Tyrone, also. Thomas O'Neill, brother of Philip, settled in Knockadoon (Warren), Ballymacoda,civil parish of Kilmacdonogh, in 1702. Daniel O'Neill, son of Thomas, settled in Monagurra, Shanagarry, civil parish of Kilmahon, County Cork. Many descendants live in the United States as well as County Cork. Other surnames dealt with briefly include Cashman, Chaplin, Garvey, Hayes and Power. Eugene O'Neill (1888-1953), American playwright, his daughter, Oona (1925-1991) and her husband Charles Chaplin (1889-1977), are among the notable members of this family.
