{"product_id":"the-selected-letters-of-tennessee-albert-j-devlin-9780811214452","title":"The Selected Letters of Tennessee Williams: Volume I: 1920-1945","description":"When first published in 2000, Volume I of \u003cem\u003eThe Selected Letters of Tennessee Williams\u003c\/em\u003e was hailed as \"indispensable\" (\u003cem\u003eChoice\u003c\/em\u003e), a \"carefully researched, fully documented study\" (\u003cem\u003eBuffalo News\u003c\/em\u003e), and \"a model edition of a significant set of letters by one of America's leading writers\" (MLA citation for the biennial Morton N. Cohen Award). Now available as a paperbook, it is hoped that this volume will help a widening circle of readers appreciate that the great American playwright was also \"a prodigy of the letter\" (Allan JaIon, \u003cem\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/em\u003e). Tennessee Williams wrote to family, friends, and fellow artists with varying measures of piety, wit, and astute self-knowledge. Presented with a running commentary to separate Williams's sometimes hilarious, often devious, counter-reality from truth, the letters form a virtual autobiography of the great American dramatist. Volume I of \u003cem\u003eThe Selected Letters of Tennessee Williams: 1920-1945\u003c\/em\u003e includes 330 letters written to nearly seventy correspondents and chosen from a group of 900 letters collected by two leading Williams scholars: Albert J. Devlin, Professor of English at the University of Missouri, and Nancy M. Tischler, Professor Emerita of English at the Pennsylvania State University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Albert J.
