About This Book
This work is interesting enough for its history. Completed in 1940, Long Day's
Journey Into Night is an autobiographical play Eugene O'Neill wrote
that--because of the highly personal writing about his family--was not to be
released until 25 years after his death, which occurred in 1953. But since
O'Neill's immediate family had died in the early 1920s, his wife allowed
publication of the play in 1956. Besides the history alone, the play is
fascinating in its own right. It tells of the "Tyrones"--a fictional name for
what is clearly the O'Neills. Theirs is not a happy tale: The youngest son
(Edmond) is sent to a sanitarium to recover from tuberculosis; he despises his
father for sending him; his mother is wrecked by narcotics; and his older
brother by drink. In real-life these factors conspired to turn O'Neill into who
he was--a tormented individual and a brilliant playwright.
