 The Eugene O'Neill Newsletter
William James Florence, contains such titles as "The Irishman's Shanty," with its obligatory reference to pigs that "roam at their aise,/And come into the shanty whenever they plaise" (Florence 14-15).
The stress on O'Neill as a lonely, isolated giant on the American theatre scene is a damaging one for O'Neill scholarship since it calls into question the level of dramatic activity in the United States.
In a larger sense, it is self--defeating to insist on the solitariness of his achievement, and it is wrong-headed to ignore the theatre tradition that he grew out of and that nurtured him.
