Complete list of O' Neill plays and years in which they were written p. ii.

Before Eugene O'Neill serious American drama barely existed. Born in New York in 1888, he brought to it a depth and intensity, and a willingness to experiment, which were valuable precedents for its further development. The early plays in this volume (The Emperor Jones, The Hairy Ape, All God's Chillum, Got Wings) belong to a period of expressionist experiment, which was crowned by the tremendous achievement of Desire Under the Elms. Ah, Wilderness! marks the end of the first major period of O'Neill's creative life.
