About this ebook
In her twelfth book, Yvonne Shafer once again focuses on Eugene O'Neill. Her previous book, "Performing O'Neill", presented fascinating information about the actors (James Earl jones, Jason Robards, etc.) who created his roles. "Eugene O'Neill and American Society" moves away from the familiar biographical analysis of the plays to such aspects as his anti-war attitude, his interaction with African-Americans, his surprising love of musicals and his characterisation as a woman. Shafer, who has been involved in the theatre world as an actress, director, critic and scholar, has taught and lectured in places such as China, Norway and Belgium. Her performance of Eugene O'Neil On Stage has delighted audiences in Germany, the United States and the University of Valencia among other places in Spain.
