Dynamo

1929. 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. His enormous output is in the tradition of realism established by Strindberg and Ibsen. His works introduced Americans to the techniques of the great European realists. Realism for Americans was a move away from the sentimental comedies, the pathetic dramas, and the melodrama that dominated the American stage from before the Civil War to World War I. Dynamo was expressionist in style and demonstrating his considerable range. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
