O'Neill wrote about domestic relationships throughout his career: the intimacies and estrangements between family members marble his plays from the early maritime dramas to the idyllic Ah Wilderness! to his most famous family tragedy, Long Day's Journey into Night. Additionally, he described the home environments of his characters in sometimes minute detail: such descriptions have enormous bearing on character and action in his plays.

 

This panel will concern any aspect of O'Neill and the domestic.  Please send prospecti/abstracts to Cynthia McCown, address below.  Graduate students are encouraged to apply.  First deadline September 30, 2009.
