Jacket design by A. Christopher Simon. A History of the Pulitzer Prize Plays (1967) by John L. Toohey is the most comprehensive single-volume historical and critical survey of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama from its inaugural award in the season of 1917 to 1918 through the mid-1960s, providing in 344 pages a systematic account of each prize-winning play alongside its theatrical and cultural context. The Pulitzer Prize for Drama, established under the terms of Joseph Pulitzer's 1904 bequest to Columbia University and administered by the university's Advisory Board, has since its inception recognized the most distinguished American play produced in each theatrical season, generating across its history a roster of winners encompassing Eugene O'Neill, Thornton Wilder, Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, and Edward Albee alongside numerous now-forgotten productions whose reception Toohey chronicles with the informed perspective of a scholar steeped in the history of the American theater. The volume's critical apparatus situates each prize-winning play within the broader dramatic trends and theatrical conditions of its season, providing both a reference guide and a narrative history of American drama as refracted through the most prestigious prize the theater world offers, and it has since been acknowledged as a standard reference in the literature of American theatrical history.…
