Dramatist in America Letters of Maxwell Anderson, 1912-1958

Avery's collection of Anderson's letters gives the first substantial picture of Anderson's life and reveals the details and development of his career--his methods of work, dealings with associates, ideas about certain plays, and conceptions of himself as a playwright. Each letter is fully annotated, the preface gives a complete chronlogy of Anderson's life, and the volume contains the first complete bibliography of his works.
