Prefaces by Harry T. Moore. The Plays of Eugene O'Neill: O'Neill is discussed both as a playwright and as a nineteenth-century and twentieth-century American writer. George Orwell: Fugitive from the Camp of Victory: Richard Rees, who knew Orwell personally and thus writes from first-hand knowledge of his subject, has here provided us with a sympathetic and enlightening study of one of the most profound political satirists of our time. Henry Miller and the Critics: Brings together 21 opinions of Henry Miller and his work, with a postscript by Miller himself. Among the contributors are George Orwell, Alfred Perles, Edmund Wilson, Herbert J. Miller, Lawrence Clark Powell, Philip Rahv, and Lawrence Durrell. Samuel Beckett: The Language of Self: Provides an introductory analysis of twentieth-century views of the self, i.e. the individual imprisoned in each of our skulls, as these views have developed from the Russian tradition beginning with Dostoevsky and the Western, rationalist tradition beginning with Descartes.
