More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"This book contains a wealth of fresh insights... The entire thrust of this sensitive book is that O'Neill's art gave him the means to transcend his pain. Because Black has delineated the healing powers of that magical process so fully, readers will feel O'Neill's agony over its loss all the more keenly." Wendy Smith, Washington Post Book World "An absorbing, meticulously researched, intelligently written biography. Black, a professor of English and a trained psychoanalyst, uses the tools of both disciplines to examine every aspect of O'Neill's life... Those open to a probing psychoanalytic discussion of O'Neill will be engrossed and fascinated." Booklist "The major strength of Black's portrait is his description of O'Neill's maturation as an artist... This fascinating biography will be of interest to anyone concerned with the life of Eugene O'Neill, tragic drama, theatre history, or the problems of applied psychoanalysis." Eric J. Nuetzel, Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association "This book is groundbreaking and may well alter a number of long-held conceptions about Eugene O'Neill." Margaret Loftus Ranald, president, Eugene O'Neill Society

outstanding psychoanalytic interpretation
1 July 2000
Format:Hardcover
Stephen A. Black has assembled an extraordinary range of materials to provide the first comprehensive psychoanalysis of O'Neill. Others have offered fragmentary perspectives, or analyses based on a little reading in psychoanalytic theory, but Black brings his experience as a trained analyst (as well as a literary scholar) to a through review of the historical documents. It must have been harrowing work for him, but we all stand to benefit from his having gone into the very mouth of a hellish psyche. (Hmmm... not so sure about that metaphor.) Anyway, it's a terrific book.
