AlbakiReads Editorial

A family drama shaped by autobiography

Eugene O’Neill’s autobiographical play brings family relationships into focus through the strains of marriage, parenthood, and the bond between parent and child. Its subject is the difficulty of family love in the face of wounds that it cannot readily mend. The Yale University Press edition includes a foreword by Harold Bloom, offering an additional critical perspective on the play. Together, the autobiographical basis and its attention to intimate family ties place the work within American drama.

Book overview

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."
