The Selected Letters of Tennessee Williams: Volume II; 1945-1957

These letters of Tennessee Williams offer a rare insight into the private life of Tennessee Williams.

This is the second volume of correspondence of Tennessee Williams covering the most productive middle years of his life. It includes letters to and from friends during what was his most productive time. This when he was writing some of his best works, and the letters reflect the difficulties he was having with the work in process. These letters end in 1957 when he had just had two failed plays and the ever present critics were predicting the end of his career. The book also includes a running commentary on the letters to keep them in perspective to the actuall happenings in his life. As a result, they form a sort of autobiography of the great dramatist.
