Description:
New York: The Modern Library, 1942. Reissue. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 7x4x0. 1942-60 printing of Toledano 223.1, binding style 8, grey Rockwell Kent endpapers. Lacks jacket. Owner bookplate on front endpaper, spine and pages lightly toned. xiv, 330 pp. "In 1934, when The Children's Hour was first produced and published, American playgoers and readers became aware of a challenging new dramatist who could make of the most delicate of themes a play of force and ringing conviction. Since then Lillian Hellman has advanced her reputation as one of America's leading playwrights. Each new work reveals a wider sympathy and mounting power. This volume contains all her plays to date in their complete and unabridged texts: The Children's Hour, Days to Come, The Little Foxes and Watch on the Rhine. In addition, Miss Hellman contributes an introduction written especially for the Modern Library edition.
