Though known primarily as a poet, Langston Hughes crafted well over 40 theatrical works. This book examines Hughes's stage pieces from his first published play, The Gold Piece (1921), through his post-radical wartime effort, For This We Fight (1943). Hughes's stage writing of this period includes such forms as the folk comedy, the protest drama, the historical play and the blues opera. McLaren concludes that the "democratic" argument is ultimately employed by Hughes to challenge segregation in the military and that Hughes's iconography prefigures the black aesthetic of the 1960s. Photographs complement the text.

Essays by contributors from diverse fields offer fresh perspectives on and penetrating interpretations of America's one indisputable world-class dramatist. Moorton's introduction vigorously defends O'Neill's tragedy, locating its genius in the violation of intimate relationships, especially the family. Three major divisions consider the nature of O'Neill's dramaturgy, the cultural and autobiographical sources of his art, and the challenges inherent in staging that art. The essays range from literary criticism and psychoanalytic and feminist interpretations of the plays, to O'Neill in translation, and the playwright from an actor's perspective.
