The first complete collection of the dramatic works of leading modern American playwright Susan Glaspell, this book includes all seven of the Pulitzer Prize winner's one-act works: Suppressed Desires, Trifles, The People, The Outside, Woman's Honor, Close the Book, and Tickless Time. The book also features her seven full-length plays, including Bernice, Inheritors, The Verge, Alison's House, The Comic Artist, Chains of Dew, and Springs Eternal, the last two of which are published here for the first time. Each play includes an introductory essay along with extended biographical and critical essays. A previously unknown Glaspell play, the political parody Free Laughter, is also included. Appendices give details on both first run and recent productions of Glaspell's plays.
