Narrating Discovery: The Romantic Explorer in American Literature, 1790-1855
Found an excerpt while websurfing after seeing "The Iceman Cometh" at BAM. Ordered from library. Read the section on "Iceman." Detailed, psychoanalytical, thoughtful, and insightful approach, but not sure I'm interested enough in O'Neill's life at this point to delve deeply enough into it to read the rest of this long book. Maybe I'll come back to it if I see another one of his plays.
