When first published in 2000, Volume I ofĀ The Selected Letters of Tennessee WilliamsĀ was hailed as āindispensableā (Choice), a ācarefully researched, fully documented studyā (Buffalo News), and āa model edition of a significant set of letters by one of Americaās leading writersā (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 āa prodigy of the letterā (Allan JaIon,Ā San Francisco Chronicle). 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 Williamsās sometimes hilarious, often devious, counter-reality from truth, the letters form a virtual autobiography of the great American dramatist. Volume I ofĀ The Selected Letters of Tennessee Williams: 1920-1945Ā 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.
