About this product

Product Information

Winner of the 1957 Pulitzer Prize in Drama "The definitive edition."-- Boston Globe Eugene O'Neill's autobiographical play Long Day's Journey into Night is regarded as his finest work. First published by Yale University Press in 1956, it won the Pulitzer Prize in 1957 and has since sold more than one million copies. This edition includes a Foreword by Harold Bloom, in which he writes: "By common consent, Long Day's Journey into Night is Eugene O'Neill's masterpiece. . . . The helplessness of family love to sustain, let alone heal, the wounds of marriage, of parenthood, and of sonship, have never been so remorselessly and so pathetically portrayed, and with a force of gesture too painful ever to be forgotten by any of us."

Reviews
"The restoration of several previously missing lines of dialogue and stage direction likely make this the definitive edition of a 'play of old sorrow, written in tears and blood,' as O'Neill described it in dedicating it to his wife, Carlotta."-- Boston Globe "Drawing upon recent textual scholarship, the sixty-first printing of the Yale edition incorporates missing lines of dialogue accidentally dropped by O'Neill's wife Carlotta as she retyped."-- American Literature "Attractive frontispiece. Recommended for all college and university libraries."-- Choice "No play Eugene O'Neill ever wrote speaks more eloquently to the reader. . . . Certainly no one, henceforth, will write of this other plays without remembering this, his most revealing of himself."--Lewis Gannett, New York Herald Tribune "I think he wrote it as an act of forgiveness. Not as a pontifical forgiveness, mind you, not as absolution for the harm that had been done to him. That he was damaged by his family is only a fact now, a piece of truth to be but down out of respect of the whole truth; there is no residual rancor. He seems to be asking forgiveness for his own failure to know his father, mother, and brother well enough at a time when the need for understanding was like an upstairs cry in the night; and to be reassuring their ghosts, wherever they may be, that he knows everything awful that they have done, and loves them."--Walter F. Kerr, New York Herald Tribune " Long Day's Journey Into Night has long since become a classic not only of the American stage, but of universal theater. And apart from its secure place in literature, the play is an invaluable key to its author's creative evolution. It serves as the Rosetta Stone of O'Neill's life and art."--Barbara Gelb "Only an artist of O'Neill's extraordinary skill and perception can draw the curtain on the secrets of his own family to make you peer into your own. Long Day's Journey Into Night is the most remarkable achievement of one of the world's greatest dramatists."--Jose Quintero " Long Day's Journey is O'Neill's last, most realized play, a grand act of mercy upon his family and his own life."--Arthus Miller "The helplessness of family love to sustain, let alone heal, the wounds of marriage, of parenthood, and of sonship, have never been so remorselessly and so pathetically portrayed, and with a force of gesture too painful ever to be forgotten by any of us."--Harold Bloom, from the Foreword, " Long Day's Journey Into Night has long since become a classic not only of the American stage, but of universal theater.

  • Not that great

    I prefered Beyond the Horizon, this story is to plain. It is a autobiography of Eugene O'Neill's life written as fiction. The mother is a morphine addict and the two son's and their father are drunks. They family is of Irish heritage. The father is an actor, as are the sons. The mother hates the life of being an actor's wife. She is saddened by the loss of her son Eugene. She reflects in her days in the convent to escape the pain of everyday life. Over all it wasn't that great of a play.

  • good story

    I bought this book for ENGL 120 writing course. The story is not bad. But I won't choose it as a reading for pleasure.
