Eugene O’Neill (1888-1953), the father of American drama, won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama four times and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1936. Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of Humanities at Yale University and Berg Professor of English at New York University, is the author of many books, including The Western Canon, The Anxiety of Influence and, most recently, How to Read and Why.
"The restoration of several previously missing lines of dialogue
and stage direction likely make this the definitive edition of a
'play of old sorrow, written in tears and blood,' as O’Neill
described it in dedicating it to his wife, Carlotta."—Boston

Winner of the 1957 Pulitzer Prize in Drama
"Long Day’s Journey Into Night has long since become a classic not
only of the American stage, but of universal theater. And apart
from its secure place in literature, the play is an invaluable key
to its author’s creative evolution. It serves as the Rosetta Stone
of O’Neill’s life and art."—Barbara Gelb
"Only an artist of O’Neill’s extraordinary skill and perception can
draw the curtain on the secrets of his own family to make you peer
into your own. Long Day’s Journey Into Night is the most remarkable
achievement of one of the world’s greatest dramatists."—Jose
Quintero
"Long Day's Journey is O'Neill's last, most realized play, a grand
act of mercy upon his family and his own life."—Arthur Miller
"The helplessness of family love to sustain, let alone heal, the
wounds of marriage, of parenthood, and of sonship, have never been
so remorselessly and so pathetically portrayed, and with a force of
gesture too painful ever to be forgotten by any of us."—Harold
Bloom, from the Foreword
