Shaughnessy examines the influence of the Irish playwright's Catholic heritage on his moral imagination. Critics, due to O'Neill's early renunciation of faith at age 15, have mostly overlooked this presence in his work. While Shaughnessy makes no attempt to reclaim him for Catholicism, he uncovers evidence that O'Neill retained the imprint of his Irish Catholic upbringing and acculturation in his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShaughnessy discusses several key plays from the O'Neill cannon, such as \u003ci\u003eLong Day's Journey into Night, The Iceman Cometh\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMourning Becomes Electra\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the lesser-known\u003ci\u003e Ile\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDays Without End.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinner of the Irish in America Manuscript competition, \u003ci\u003eDown the Days and Down the Nights: Eugene O'Neill's Catholic Sensibility \u003c\/i\u003eis a compelling investigation into the psyche of one of the most brilliant, internationally honored playwrights of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward L.
