The Present Book, The Plays Of Eugene O Neill : A Critical Study, Is A
Full-Length Study Of Eugene O Neill S Major Plays. O Neil, Who Was Awarded The
Nobel Prize For Literature In November 1936, Has A Firm Belief That
Powerlessness, Cultural-Estrangement, Social-Isolation, Self-Estrangement And
Normlessness Are The Major Factors Which Account For The Realistic
Representation Of The Problems Of The Individual In His Plays. O Neill S Plays
Are Modern Tragedies, Striking At The Very Root Of Sickness Inherent In The
Present Day World. He Claims That He Has Studied Man Not In Relation To Man, But
Man In Relation To God.
