xiv, 330 pp. "In 1934, when The Children's Hour was first produced and published, American playgoers and readers became aware of a challenging new dramatist who could make of the most delicate of themes a play of force and ringing conviction. Since then Lillian Hellman has advanced her reputation as one of America's leading playwrights. Each new work reveals a wider sympathy and mounting power. This volume contains all her plays to date in their complete and unabridged texts: The Children's Hour, Days to Come, The Little Foxes and Watch on the Rhine. In addition, Miss Hellman contributes an introduction written especially for the Modern Library edition. "
