5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and Helpful, February 21, 2000

By	William Roby (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eugene O'Neill (Bloom's Modern Critical Views) (Hardcover)

I'm writing a thesis regarding the tragic mode in works ranging from Aueschylus' Oresteia to Miller's Death of a Salesman, works that include O'Neil's Mourning Becomes Electra. In using this book as a reference I have been able to create a thesis that is both informed and interesting. Great book...

1.0 out of 5 stars It is not fair to trade in obsolete editions, August 7, 2007

By	Andres Graham Yooll (Buenos Aires, Argentina) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Eugene O'Neill (Bloom's Modern Critical Views) (Hardcover)

My interest in Eugene O'Neill has extended to researching his early life in Argentina. An article written by me on this topic was included in the 2007 edition of Bloom's Modern Critical Views. My order for a copy of this book (believing it to be currently available) was answered with an out of date 1987 (probably remaindered) edition. This represented an expensive failure for me. I have asked for it to be replaced.
