Publisher's Synopsis
1923. Generally agreed to be one of the most significant forces in the history of the American theater, O'Neill is a three-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize. This volume contains O'Neill's early sea plays, which were written from 1914 to 1921. Of these, Bound East for Cardiff, is the first to incorporate what was to become an ongoing theme that would be central in his later work; that of the character's life-sustaining pipe dream, i.e., the seaman who dreams of becoming a farmer. Contents: The Moon of the Caribbees; Bound East for Cardiff; The Long Voyage Home; In the Zone; Ile; Where the Cross is Made; and The Rope.
