Touch of the Poet & More Stately Mansions

Companion pieces, linked by characters and themes, they form part of a projected series of eleven interconnected plays in which the playwright intended to give a psychological and economic account of American life

Now these works, the only surviving plays in O'Neill's "cycle," are brought together for the first time in a paper-back volume.
