ABSTRACT:This article reexamines Eugene O’Neill’s first Pulitzer Prizes, for Beyond the Horizon and “Anna Christie.” These prizes, awarded in such swift succession almost exactly a century ago, positioned O’Neill as the United States’s premier dramatist and also established the model for critically acclaimed American drama. O’Neill’s early successes are about misbegotten outsiders, whose lives as farmers, sailors, immigrants, and sex workers convey a diverse and realistic American experience in contrast with the fantasies of vaudeville and melodrama. Yet O’Neill depicts these characters without indicting the systemic injustices that force them into their outsider roles. The plays, like O’Neill himself, are cautiously and imperfectly progressive. A century after these awards, we can see how O’Neill continues to shape American drama and how recent dramatists awarded the Pulitzer Prize continue to build upon O’Neill’s model of social and cultural inclusivity.

ABSTRACT:This article examines the narrative and structural stasis that results from repeated infantilizing exchanges between parents and adult children sharing homes in the highly canonical mid-twentieth-century American plays Long Day’s Journey Into Night, The Glass Menagerie, and Death of a Salesman. These moments of overparenting, which tend to focus on the adult children’s bodies and health, educational and career choices, and language, are met with acts of resistance that in turn perpetuate a cycle of intergenerational conflict. Understanding the psychological effects of infantilization is crucial to recognizing the downward trajectory of both generations in all three plays into a stagnated state of memory rather than future progress. This article engages with relevant sociohistorical and autobiographical contextual material and argues that the cycle of infantilization dramatized in these plays is rooted in mid-century American culture and traditional gender roles.
