Magnum Opus by Zander Brietzke

Magnum Opus by Zander Brietzke

An original and provocative analysis of Eugene O'Neill's unfinished cycle play project.

"The definitive study of the Cycle, and therefore a book that will last the test of time”—Robert M. Dowling, author of Eugene O'Neill: A Life in Four Acts

“There is no other work in O’Neill studies that does what Brietzke does here.”—Beth Wynstra, Babson College

“Deftly tracking the twists and turns of Eugene O’Neill's artistic process while placing female characters in the forefront, Zander Brietzke manages to turn historiographical excavation into a breathtaking page-turner.”—Shannon Jackson, University of California, Berkeley
 

“This dramaturgical excavation and reassessment of O’Neill’s cycle explores a literary mystery, with Brietzke as the extremely qualified detective. He pairs rigorous scholarly analysis with his artistic understanding as a theatremaker. It’s a joy to follow the breadcrumbs with him. This book adds significantly to the field of O’Neill scholarship and offers new inroads for practitioners bringing O’Neill to the stage.” —Ilana M. Brownstein, Director of New Work, Company One Theatre

Zander Brietzke is the author of The Aesthetics of Failure, American Drama in the Age of Film, and Action and Consequence in Ibsen, Chekhov and Strindberg. A former president of the Eugene O’Neill Society, he taught modern and contemporary drama at Columbia University.
