A hauntingly beautiful early copy of Eugene O’Neill’s Mourning Becomes Electra — his bold reimagining of the Oresteia tragedy set against the backdrop of the American Civil War. Published by Horace Liveright, Inc. in 1931, this seventh printing from the same year remains part of the original run that introduced this monumental work to the world. Bound in slate-blue cloth with O’Neill’s gilt signature on the cover, it carries the elegant minimalism of early-1930s design — understated yet refined. An early issue of one of O’Neill’s most powerful works — the tragedy that defined modern American theater. Perfect for literature lovers, dark academia collectors, or theatrical historians alike.
